Not surprising.
I totally support substituting fees for property taxes. It SHOULD cost something for mortgage companies to inquire about the title on a house at the County Recorder. It SHOULD cost something to get into the community pool.
Now, we can argue about the amount of the fee, but the principle that government services should cost the direct user, and not all be paid out of property taxes, is sound.

and following that same logic, we could just eliminate the property tax, which frankly is double taxation on income we already got taxed on ... and go to all user fees, service fees, and sales taxes on consumption. Be fine by me. But even if we wanted to, it would take 10 years of sliding replacements to get there.
Interesting...
