More on Maggie/Minarik’s taxpayer deception plan - D&C says vote no
I originally wanted to title the headline Breaking: stlo7/Lawrence op-ed page agree. But regular readers to this page know the D&C isn’t looking for my approval nor am I theirs.
You probably know that there is a ballot initiative on the November ballot titled the Taxpayers Protection Plan - and it was dreamt up by the GOP political machine to save us from a threat that simply doesn’t happen.
I am very pleased that the fallacy of this plan is brought out in a well written piece by the D&C.
We have already discussed the background and how it only deals with 20% of a budget that hasn’t been expanded outside the existing boundary in several years. This line of the op-ed piece summed it up rather nicely. (my emphasis)
This is one of those feel-good snow jobs that politicians like to sprinkle over voters with the objective of accomplishing something completely different — in this case, re-electing the majority Republican legislators who dreamed up this idea.
County residents should send a clear message to lawmakers that this sort of hidden-ball trick isn’t appreciated.
Spot on Mr. Lawrence.
