in response to deltarome:

Marco City govt is blessed with an older average age. Less of our taxes go to pay for schools, which is not the case in cape coral or other cities where the average cost of a house is much less and there are more school age kids.
The fact that is overlooked here is that my house is worth the same as when I purchased it in 2002 yet my city taxes are 40% higher!
Tell me again how city govt is doing a job better than other cities???
If the state and county govt can lower millage rates since 2006, why is it that Marco City govt has to raise it year over year??

neither Marco Island nor Cape Coral governments have anything to do with taxes for public schools. Millage rates for each of 67 Florida school districts are set by the State of Florida up in Tallahassee.
