Hmm I understand what you are saying. However, as you said the overall tax revenue increase is definitely happening, conflating the two.
In 2017 the county made $4.8 billion in property taxes, and in 2018 it will be $5.6 billion. So they are already getting $800 million more in property taxes in 2018. That's a lot more money. It just feels like they don't want to spend the extra money they're already getting effectively, and instead want to ask for more on top.
