Those Rascally Mosquitos - Taxation without representation
Posted by Aaron Park on July 22, 2007 at 07:04 PM
Much like the absurd media reporting around our congressman and the half-truths and engineered stories designed to attack John Doolittle – we have the Placer Mosquito Abatement District.
They sent ballots out to parcel owners in innocuous yellow envelopes that looked like junk mail.
Inside was an official ballot and a 12-page flyer with a picture of a mosquito 1,000 times its’ normal size and hyperbolic information about west nile virus.
The bottom line is that after investigation and the reaction of certain board members to the accountability afforded them by the County Central Committee suggests that the Mosquito Board Knew what they were doing and they rigged a tax increase guaranteed to pass.
This Parcel tax is another grab bag of stuff for building facilities and the like… just like any school bond. Except a parcel tax charges the Galleria’s Parcel the same amount as my folk’s home lot. Nice.
