The voters of Springfield may be wise to vote 'No' on February 3rd and wait to see who is elected to City Council in April before opening their pocketbook. If the composition of the new Council has any similarity to the current Council, the taxpayer may be better served by a permanent, dedicated sales tax at a much lower rate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-44917290676112242482009-01-06T21:26:00.000-06:002009-01-06T21:26:00.000-06:00Even if the tax passes in February it is still a f...Even if the tax passes in February it is still a future and endless blank check. Send another 150 million to the "Wonders of Wall Street" and it will be gone again. <BR/><BR/>The Springfield public will then have to do what the STATE says and cough up more money to cover what has been paid for twice. <BR/><BR/>What age do these people expect to retire at / and what is the total cost compared to what was paid to them when they were working ? <BR/><BR/>No group should be able to command the basic future bankrupcy of the City simply because Mr. Finnie started a blank check retirement process with the support of the previous Council that had no clue what they were doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
