By Ann Ubelis

Is anyone paying attention to what is happening?  You are about to lose your vote and your wallet!

OK, let me explain, the people who process and adjust your taxes, you vote for.  You get to choose how they do it, by voting them in and out.  You get to choose, by whom you elect, how much you pay.  Guess what, the Referendum on the Ballot will steal your vote and voice.  Do you want that?  If you do, just hand them your wallet.  I’d like to keep mine.

Yes, County Council wants to stop you for voting for the County Treasurer and Auditor.  You will lose two votes and Your Voices!  What does that mean?  County Council will have unrestricted ability to determine your taxes!  That is TYRANNY and THEFT of your money!  They will do it behind closed doors and lie to you!

Now, They are not done yet!  There is another Referendum!

They want your wallet!  They want to raise the Sales Tax, but, wait, in the next five minutes, they will lower your property taxes, as if!  Here’s the kicker, it doesn’t give any relief to you if you rent.  Yes, you pay the landlord’s property tax every month.  There is no trigger to help you.  Will you vote for that?

Worse yet, it hits EVERYTHING you buy.  A loaf of bread, a quart of milk?  Yes, basic food, Car Registration,  and Boats.  You go to the store, drop your kid to day care, get your hair cut, any pays Business Property Taxes.   You pay those taxes every time you enter the store, and on and on!  Everything.  Businesses only remit, what they collect from you!

For what?  A Landlord gets a rebate?  A few hundred dollars at our expense of thousands of dollars a year?  Really?  How does that help you?

Oh, but the tourist will pay the most.  Did anyone tell them the pandemic has kept most tourists away?  Where’s the windfall?

Final question, did you know, at the height of the pandemic, County Council voted themselves a raise, while you were losing your job or getting laid off?  Talk about tone deaf to YOUR needs!

No matter the political aisle you sit on, DON’T let your vote be stolen or your wallet emptied!

Vote NO! This November 2 to Referendum #1 and #2

Say NO!
