Today is Throw Back Thursday. I made this video 2 years ago. Some things never change and some people never remember. This last weeks news included Link asking how they can spend an additional 400,000 funds they are again receiving-while we are warned how devastating it is to Link and other taxing districts who may have to pay back sales tax to a server farm? We had a mayor saying a part time police chief "may" work and save funds- while claiming his city is financially stable now but no mention of giving back extra taxes previously imposed? We have a governor complaining how his appointees were fired but no mention of an elected official still serving while under federal investigation for criminal charges? We have legislators offering salary raises to teachers while our local district is threatening to run another levy because the state is not fully funding basic education? One can only laugh.
Here is a news clip from 2001- sadly, a few years later the same mayor reinstated utility taxes and also included cell phones. No mention of a tax rollback still, while the city buys used gas stations for half million dollars, plans for a skywalk to a porn shop area, new snow plow trucks, new paint striper, and the 1% property tax increase each year as well as a 20.00 car tab for city residents.
