I voted to have my taxes go up to pay for a new elementary school. They replaced a flat occupation tax with an increase in the income tax which would be about an extra $400 a year for me. But it’ll come right out of my paycheck instead of being a separate bill I have to remember to pay.
Of course, all the idiots who live near me will probably vote against it and we won’t get the school because “TAX BAD.”
I don’t even have children and always vote for the school taxes. Only an idiot would shoot themselves in the foot by neglecting the people who will care for them in their end days.
My city has a referendum to replace the middle school and add a wing to the elementary school. Oh and add fire suppression systems to both of them since they are so old they don’t have them.
It’ll cost me $700/year for like 25 years.
I’m voting yes. Let’s invest in our schools and education system. Let’s understand how incredibly useful the power of local taxes are.
And then be mad when the town dies because everyone leaves and no one new moves in. #1 thing on our list when looking where to move? School quality…well that and lack of Dollar Generals
I didn’t realize how prevalent Dollar generals were until I took a road trip through West Virginia. It’s like the only successful franchise in that entire state.
