We have a working model for this in Washington DC where they can't vote.
NOW, you've watched this silly plan of jeb and charlie's, right?? Lowering property taxes and you thought it was just for their buddies in the big houses, right?? Because you've been watching people build these big godawful boxes and then cry how they can't afford the taxes, right??
Yeah, me too but with all the hooplah I've kinda been waiting for the other foot to fall and here it is:
NOW, this is Seattle. I'd advise reading the Seattle paper, the FREEP, AJC.com, Chicago Sun Times and this Texas blog plus a Texas newspaper if you want to see where florida is heading.
BECAUSE, although this is in Seattle, hnow far do you THINK that Republican controlled Florida is behind THIS?
And, they've got everyone living in fear so they'll want their sheriffs.
AND, it's FIRE SEASON (like hurricane season, remember?? MORE FEAR.
WATCH THE LEGISLATURE. I'm sure that akin to the gambling deal they'll try to run this through with NO public input and very little comment.
SO, if you haven't been sex-offendered, BURNT OUT by the firemen or terrorized or MURDERED out of your hood you'll NO DOUBT soon find yourself unable to pay yout taxes.
ummm hmmmmmm
The Legislature has moved a step closer to giving cash-strapped King County permission to impose taxes to maintain sheriff's patrols and roads outside cities, and keep Metro Transit buses rolling.
Under a bill endorsed Friday by the House Finance Committee, the Metropolitan King County Council could impose a utility tax in unincorporated areas and a countywide property-tax levy without a public vote.
"This is really the first glimmer of hope for the counties, I think," King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said before the Finance Committee approved the bill, SB 5433, which would authorize new taxes and give the county more flexibility in spending other taxes.
I LOVE how their State's Attorney pretends to be "ON THE SIDE OF THE PEOPLE"
Well, sure. SOME PEOPLE.
Others???
NOT SO MUCH.
Maybe mainly campaign contributers.
It would be worth it to stand outside probation headquarters and see who is related to whom and where their loyalties lie.
I doubt we'll see Jason Kuhn wandering out of a probation office any time soon.
BUT, I bet we'll see planty of Democrats and loyal friends of Democrats doing so ......
So, the reason why they lowered the property taxes wasn't just so that you'd have to rely on gambling and the school boards would start suing the counties for MORE MONEY as in Pasco but so that they could also start levying taxes without YOU voting on it.
SO, pretty soon, if you're not a Republican your ass will be as homeless as they can make it....
