I believe you are my representative. I live in Davenport, 2809 E. 44th St. I am very concerned over our property taxes. As I look at the overall picture, the largest problem is pensions for the police and fire dept. They are not in line with the private sector. The private sector cannot afford this. This problem will only get bigger and bigger if not addressed. What can be done to bring the pension situation back to a sustainable level?? I hope this will not be another Wisconsin. Please advise.
