Lincoln City Primaries -excuses

<< < (4/4)

I was shocked the sales tax increase passed.

And then I remembered "It's Lincoln". 

Who does the sales tax help the most?  Government.  Where is the most government in the State?

Couldn't believe more people did not turn out if for no other reason than to vote it down. Really, Who the Heck votes FOR a tax increase?

Apathy and ignorance is what has gotten the progressives into power and if we aren't careful we will end up like a blue state.

God help us all.

But I doubt I will ever leave this state.  I love her dearly. 

Hskr4lf:
It's almost like whenever any measure involving education is on a ballot.  Everyone can get hooked to vote for it with the "it's for the kids" line, even though throwing more and more money at the education system is not fixing any problems.  In this case I saw several candidates who said that while they don't agree with having to raise taxes to pay for something that was foreseeable and should've been planned for, public safety is number one, so they supported it in the end.  We'll never see any change for the better if the debt addicts never hit their "rock-bottom".  Besides, I think the emergency services provided by the city of Lincoln have been just fine.  They should work for another year or so, at least long enough to set aside enough money that they already get from us to pay for the upgrade instead of taking more taxes from us.


Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Romans 12:12

When I first herd about the sales tax increase I couldn't believe this city was so poorly ran (yes I knew it was bad and no I haven't payed much attention). I'm a saver... I put a little away and wait to get what I need. The city knew that this was something that has a experation date. They need to start a account and put money away over the life of the unit. When its time to buy a New unit bam we have all or most of the money.

Does the city ever get paid for EMS calls?

Oh well I'm not a baker or politician.
