Did anybody else get such a notice? It just seems odd as I thought my taxes were staying about the same, and if we are facing a 9% increase next year; why not just lower my payments by 1%? That way I never really "see" the contoversial tax increase.

I received it too, but read the notice differently.
Instead of it being one amount for the first half of the year and then another amount for the rest of the year, they've decided to split the tax bill by 12 months and have you pay the same amount for the whole year. It really won't make much of a difference to the total amount you pay, only that they're playing games by saying "it will be easier to budget", whatever that means.
