Sales Tax

Has anyone seen a tiger in the streets of Independence?

Great story by Jeff Martin!!!   XOX

Well they tell me one person came out to hear the city talk about why we need to increase our sales tax. They paid X amount of people over time to do this and people don't appear that they care to hear about it.  With one more meeting to go at  Blue Ridge Blvd. Christian Church till the vote. It looks like the voters don't know about the meetings or that they have made their minds up.

 Monday I was in training to work at the polls. This is what we learned. We are expecting a very low voter turn out. We will only have 54 Polling places to vote instead of the 100 Polling places we normaly have. When I raised my hand and asked why will we have such a low turn out our instructor informed us because it's a one ballet issue and because that none of the papers are reporting on it. I hope there is not to much confusion finding where to vote.

At 24th Street and Sterling our sign reads Vote No On Aug. 4th Tax Increase! When Times Are Tough Enough Is Enough! We feel it's heartless to ask people at this time with our uncertain economic climate to add more on their plates when some can't even put enough food on their plates. The Big Guys may not know how hard it is to get a job or keep the doors of your store open but we do! May God Bless Our Efforts because most people I talk to don't even know about this very, very, very costly election.

He did such a good job I plan to let all of my family, friends and customers read it!!!
