We don't have to agree, but we certainly can be proud to have issues we believe in and lend our support.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36087081.post-42280640490793493262007-11-06T21:31:00.000-05:002007-11-06T21:31:00.000-05:00Marion County has 46 different taxing authorities....Marion County has 46 different taxing authorities. About 50 percent of property tax revenue goes to schools. That spending is decided upon by elected school boards.<BR/><BR/>[pouting with a scowl on my face].nora leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060931365847924819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36087081.post-66348263218116723322007-11-06T21:19:00.000-05:002007-11-06T21:19:00.000-05:00I know -- the property tax thing is horrible.

The city/county council, school board, capital improvement board, library board and state legislature all have more control over our property taxes than the mayor --but he's taking the fall.<BR/><BR/>Second Helpings does not get any government money, so the outcome of the election should not effect us at all. But I'm still nervous - Ballard said in a debate that our mentally ill homeless people need some "tough love." I can't wait to see what that means!nora leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060931365847924819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36087081.post-27133878885801591922007-11-06T20:54:00.000-05:002007-11-06T20:54:00.000-05:00I've been watching returns, and it looks like Bart...I've been watching returns, and it looks like Bart's on his way out. I think this whole property tax debacle did him in.<BR/><BR/>This Ballard dude doesn't seem to have much experience. I think people are voting because their wallets are crying, which I can understand. It's not always the wisest move, though.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456394181601374129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36087081.post-6318285915924566152007-11-06T19:31:00.000-05:002007-11-06T19:31:00.000-05:00NoraI thought I was the only who liked the voting ...Nora<BR/>I thought I was the only who liked the voting process and watching the returns come in. Give me a bowl of popcorn, a glass of ice tea and the remote when it's a Presidential election. Keep them going late into the night I have nothing better to do. I really do like that.<BR/>What I hate is all the ads leading up to the election. Just get tired of hearing them especially when you know they are lying. <BR/>Put "work on a political campaign" on your list of things to do before you die. <BR/>Happy Returns <BR/>RalphRalphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608921525460762156noreply@blogger.com
