I love the upcoming April 26 ballot measure vote. The timing is perfect. It shows me how much common sense the Regional Fire Authority has.
After all, I’ll be writing a heftier check than last years’s on April 15 where a large part of my tax dollars will go to lots of government waste, funding offensive things like Planned Parenthood’s abortion factories and paying retirement checks to political pals like the IRS’ Lois Lerner.
In the meantime, the nation’s GDP averages 2.8 percent for the past 5 years and Kent’s homelessness is exploding and has gone unchecked by the current Kent government for some time. It’s the same common sense being used to apply a proposed $10 per oil barrel tax for extravagant green infrastructure projects for political pals and ones that I may not see or use in this lifetime.
RFA, clean up your house and your math skills and rethink your metric. $1 per $1,000 is way out of line as the nation struggles to stave off a recession. By April 26 we could very well be in one. And then won’t you look really out of touch and self-serving. Find a way that costs less and cuts the fat.
I do more with less or I don’t do. Welcome to my world.
