This week we covered how lowering tax rates spurs on economic growth and the amount of taxes collected. Following this strategy will allow the city to fully fund the basic services and afford the amenities, which currently isn’t happening.
Beware of the “Silly” Council members bearing tax relief. The Community Engagement Plan calls for retiring the TIFF districts. Some, like Council Member Ostrow, are trying to sell this with property tax relief. Don’t be taken in by the snake oil, but elminating the NRP free ride is a good idea. Just make sure the elected officials do there jobs.
Weekly Awards and Recognitions
This week the Shadow added $20,000 to the “Silly” Council waste bucket for the micro-grants to fight “Global Warming”.
The Shadow hands out the weekly “Goofy” award to Council Member Benson, again, for getting rid of he paper cups in exchange for the mugs at city hall.
