The Great Park series outlined how special Mello-Roos taxes pay for the development of the park, highlighting the fact that many of the residents don?t understand that their tax dollars go towards developing the park, or that the city council had placed bonds on their neighborhoods to finance the development.
Great Park resident Eugenio Zheng stepped to the mic during public comments.
?When we bought a house, nobody told me my taxes were actually paying for Great Park facilities. I thought all we were paying was for the schools, for the best amenities exclusively used by residents,? Zheng said. ?The Great Park won?t affect the city financially or the rest of the community, but we?re taking 100% responsibility.?
?We?re just like a cow being milked.?
