Property tax and bus increase proposed

[Chunkster]

The mayor, having been on what passes locally for an austerity budget, is chomping at the bit to get more money. If there were a remote chance that the money would be spent wisely (it won't)and for the right things, it might be worth considering. The problem is that the tax increase coupled with the on-going rise in property values will result in a double whammy, producing a net cost to the tax payers far in excess of the 10% being requested. Kenoi and company owe a lot of unionized county employees and contractor campaign contributors payback for their election support. I'm very doubtful that the money will go to "alleviate some of the problems we all gripe about on Punaweb" as KeaauRich says.
