Wake up Billy! ADVERTISING Wake up Billy! Maybe it’s time for our mayor (and council members) to wake up and learn something about economics! Our 4.1666 percent GET equals a 16 percent sales tax. (Already the highest in the nation.)
Wake up Billy!
Maybe it’s time for our mayor (and council members) to wake up and learn something about economics! Our 4.1666 percent GET equals a 16 percent sales tax. (Already the highest in the nation.) An increase of 0.5 percent actually is an equivalent of an additional 2 percent sales tax!
“I think it’s one good idea” and “The county has nowhere else to find the money,” said Billy.
Maybe it’s time to have a meeting to take a look at how some of our elected officials, beginning with the mayor, and county employees waste money.
I am sure the mayor would suggest a hostess bar for such a meeting, and would arrive on skateboard or a bicycle.
