Sunday Alcohol Sales with Tax proceeds used for Local Property Tax relief. Something is better that the nothing we are getting now.

Actually, an excellent idea in theory, though perhaps the math needs improvement.

Property taxes punish people who take care of their houses. A redeeming feature of the old system which taxed new homes at higher rates than old homes was that people did not lose their homes if their neighborhood improved. Under the current system, poor neighborhoods adjoining “hot” neighborhoods would be well-advised to stop cutting their lawns, park cars in their yards and cultivate panhandlers. Otherwise they can lose their homes as their landlords turn them to condos or their taxes rise bove their ability to pay.

For that matter, why not a graduated income tax instead of property taxes?

Abu produced no proof whatsoever that Abduallah wasnt residing at his claimed address. Anybody can make accusations but without proof, it’s empty. Ask Melyssa and what folk accuse & gossip about her! It was Abdul who found the document that proved Abduallah didnt live in his District. Abu was just hollerin’, Abdul was walking the walk!

Abu (Charles) Henderson has run many times for public office and failed many times. The same crew that tried to unseat Monroe Gray will try the same tactics against Bill Crawford: with the same results!

Abu Henderson is running against Bill Crawford. Abu is the democrat precinct committeeman who called out Abdullah’s illegal residency which led to him resigning for city council. Abu called out the wrong doing inside his own party. We need persons of principle, like Abu, representing us.
.
Abu Henderson is one of our most active activists and has worked very hard on behalf of citizens.
.
Abu will have a tremendous amount of support to defeat Crawford. And Abu is a very ethical, hardworking person. He deeply cares for the people in his community as EVIDENCED by his many actions for us.

No Republican filed to run against Bill Crawford – his only opponent in the primary is a perennial fringe candidate…

M is right. Just goes to show you what petty games are being played. Obviously Crawford didn’t have a clue what he was doing when he submitted that plan. If we vote dim-wits like him in office I guess we get what we deserve.

Sullivan’s should lay in a stock of tar and feathers. It could prove to be a real moneymaker. Of course, Pat’s ‘property tax’ will skyrocket. Oh, snap.

Crawford doesn’t realize he made the case for property tax elimination and all with a one percent increase in income tax. Now the tweeking would be total elimination of ALL property taxes with a one percent income tax increase. wa-la the case has been made by a Demorat who hasn’t a clue what he said. This all looking bleak for the taxpayer–Time for a major street protest at the statehouse.

Well, we certainly saw what happened to poor Greg Ballard when he got elected. The “good ole boys” Machine took him over despite the earlier efforts of some of the fine folk here…
