Okay, this is good news. But certainly not organize a blowout BBQ bash good news. More like, I’m going to eat at Red Rossa instead of Burger King for lunch kind of news. See, when you factor in inflation and the fact sales tax revenue was down last year a 3.2% increase is kind of like, well, ah, really nothing.
Of course, I’m sure they will talk it up at the informational meeting today, but seriously, just look at the numbers:Â SFTAX
I also can’t help to bring up the fact that taxpayers have been bilked for $45 million for arterial streets while developers (who were supposed to give equal amount) have put in under a million. Don’t remember this meeting when they begged for the tax increase and promised to put in matching funds? It was the meeting where Quen Be De Knudson was watching TV and complaining how she was tired. In fact she was so damn tired she wasn’t using her brain and voted for the tax increase. Boy, that turned out well.
