What are property taxes used for?

Taxes go for many services. Some of them are; schools, roads, street lights, parks, zoos, city government, city workers, police, jails, museums, garbage pickup, street cleaners, and many other things. Each of these things gets a bit from the taxes and also have added taxes onto the property tax bill for its support and services. In CA in the late 1970's a tax payer group was able to pass a law about property taxes and today we are loosing parks and other things because the money isn't there anymore. Paying taxes isn't fun, but if we want to have the services they provide we need them.
