City of College Station property values increased 11.41% in 2017. The proposed 2018 ad valorem tax rate is 49.7500 cents per $100 of assessed value, up from 47.2500 cents in 2017. This represents an annual tax increase of $106.48 and monthly increase of $8.87 for a home valued at $200,000. Two public hearings on the proposed rate will be held in August and September, with final adoption scheduled for September 25.
Given the city’s relative fiscal health, is there a need to look to budget options? The simple answer is, “of course.” There is never enough money to meet all of the needs expressed by the city’s communities. And besides the need for more funds, there can be changes that could help improve equity and efficiency in the city’s spending and taxation—a benefit that could be associated with some of the budget options we present.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
