PETERSON TAX INCREASE IN JEOPARDY
This will be short and to the point. I am predicting the Mayor’s proposed public safety tax will not pass when it comes up for a vote on Monday. There are at least two previous “yes” votes that are now in the “no” column. The dissention in the ranks is growing. It’s unclear whether the apprehension is coming from an angry public or the Councilors see the Mayor as politically vulnerable and have no desire to take the hit. This could change as the week goes by, but as of today, the votes are not there to pass a tax increase. Stay tuned.
