For 2003, 41 <br />residential homesteads still represent 67 percent of the market values, but are responsible for 55 42 <br />percent of the tax capacity.” He stated that those were changes that were made at the Capitol, 43 <br />and that is the reason for the taxes going up, and not because of anything the City Council has 44 <br />done. 45
