Where were all you people complaining that the assemssment values should have gone up when the values skyrocketed?? I think we ought to go back a few years and raise everyones assessments first and send updated tax bills from then then adjust them for the downfall in the market.. this world isn’t perfect….

Cut weren’t adequately considered, so I’ll vote against them?

What a wonderful world we live in.

I guess I’ll try and top that with this;
One day soon my bud of calm will blossom into hysteria.

Who are these people?

Mr. Guthrie’s explanation to me about that same question was that he didn’t think the cuts were adequately considered before being implemented across the board.

Obviously, this gives him the ability to play both sides of the field. He can say he supported the libraries and fought for lower taxes. I don’t know that he will do that, but it gives him an out.

Mr. McGrady said:
It’s a good thing that Mr. Guthrie has taken up this cause.
I say;
If Mr. Guthrie was so worried about his constituents, why did he vote AGAINST the budget cuts NECESSARY for the tax cuts?

It’s a nice gesture, but I’ll believe it when I see it. There will always be excuses as to why it cannot be done, or it will be danced/talked around until it is no longer necessary – i.e. the economy rebounds; IF the economy rebounds.

Of course, you know that if and when they get it right, it will be when the housing market is starting to rebound so O’ Guv can take more from us even faster.

It’s a good thing that Mr. Guthrie has taken up this cause. I’m glad. I believe that even if it costs $14M, they need to get it right. People don’t deserve to pay 30% too much in taxes.

I hope the opposition figures this out, or there will be a mass exodus of incumbents in the 2010 race
