THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY, BADLY
My Marion County Democrat friends just can’t seem to grasp the concept that they lost the Election and are debating whether to tinker with the public safety tax. Repealing the tax would be illegal because the law says it can only be voted on once in a calender year. The new talk is amending the proposal so it can sunset. That may still run against the law and intent of the legislature. If they wanted to sunset the tax they should have done so when it was first passed.
I am no big fan of the tax, but as bad as it was to pass it, it would be even more irresponsible for this Council in its last days to mess with it, especially if it won’t “man up” and make the appropriate spending cuts.
Better time would be spent by politicos rebuilding and reconnecting with an electorate that rejected them at the ballot box and cleaning their own house as opposed to playing 11th hour games.
