Evidence boundaries

What the evidence establishes

The PAFR reports 6.6500 City millage for 2021–2025 and higher property-tax revenue in 2025 than in 2021.

What the evidence does not establish

It does not show revenue increased every year or prove that property-value growth will offset Amendment 3.

Assumptions

  • The PAFR series uses comparable reported measures across the displayed years

Material omitted context

The 2023 reported revenue is below 2022, so the accurate statement is that revenue rose overall.
