When the County Raises Taxes, the City Pays the Price

Upon hearing the new 47 percent average property value increase this week, Alston was less committal. He said that the numbers could change between now and the end of the year; he pointed out that other commissioners may not go along with him; and he said the board will have to see where the county stands financially next year when the board puts a budget together.

Guilford County’s looming property tax spike is set to impact every resident in Greensboro, whether you own a home or rent. With property values rising, many families could face tax increases of up to 47%. This isn’t just a county issue; it’s a city crisis that threatens our community’s stability. As your next City Councilmember, I will advocate for a revenue-neutral tax rate to protect our families from being squeezed further. Join me in demanding smarter budgeting and accountability from our local leaders. Together, we can ensure Greensboro remains a place where everyone can thrive.

Time for Accountability: Taxpayers Deserve an Independent Budget Review in Guilford County

Our Classrooms Are Starving While Bureaucracy Feasts—Time to Rethink the Budget

As a long-time resident and taxpayer in Greensboro, I believe it’s time for accountability in how our local tax dollars are managed. With county departments requesting a staggering $49 million and Guilford County Schools seeking an additional $44 million, we face the threat of a property tax increase that could raise rents by 30% or more. It’s time to demand an independent budget review to expose wasteful spending and prioritize our classrooms over bureaucratic bloat. Join me in calling for transparency and results—let’s ensure our hard-earned money is invested wisely for the future of Greensboro.
