You are right IF they did what was right and eliminated the property tax but you know and we all know (except J.O. Box who defends the political class every inch of the way) that they would just take that money and KEEP the prop tax and then BLOW IT ALL ON WASTEFUL SPENDING!

The class clown spews ignorance once again...but since the below was the avatar he was using for a long time,
reading the associated caption should explain a lot about the little boy:

As long as they keep in getting their special exemptions and cut in welfare from the political class, the will not bite the hand that feeds.

heard thru the grapevine that they are going to use this extra water tax to buy 'meters'. Water will eventually be metered.

...........just 'grapevine talk'.

Why not meter water

Fees are exempt from the tax cap

If this happens the retired cops will buy drilling rigs

If they want to raise the water fees, can they justify the added burden to the home owner?  What upgrades and maintenance have the performed on the water lines to justify an increase which the current budget doesn't already cover?  

Certainly, they are not going to tax the water use and spend the money in a different line item?  It isn't just one big pot for everyone to put their hands in.

Raises for Hamilton friends and gumbahs


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
