2011 Real Estate Tax Bill?

Real Estate Taxes?

I was floored earlier this week when I received my real estate tax bill for tax year '11 (payable in '12) and it called for a 11.6% year-over-year increase which is by far the largest increase I have had in my 11 years of living in the comunity.  I fully understand all the issue involved but where is the accountability from the various jurisdictions that had much larger than normal increases.   How does this happen with no discussion or wide spread early messaging to the tax payers?

This is just not right process......and surely when people are all being faced with less everywhere how does our tax burden rise with no connection to the real economics of the world we face?
