| Is Against "Measure B" 6 April 09 [In reply to a "News and Notes" article about "Measure B" on the 19 May ballot] This is an example of why I think LVNA is biased. Make the City pay LVNA for your free advertising efforts! The LVNA bulletin should be used to discuss BOTH sides of any ballot measure. Your arguments for the new tax, probably just borrowed from the City, are just the same, tired old arguments we hear about any tax increase. If I have to see "we will have to cut police services" one more time, I will throw up. The County Utility Tax was probably passed by the BOS long before the law required the voters' approval. Now they want to tax our cell and computer phones. Don't forget the State sales tax just went up 1%! Both these are regressive taxes that hurt the poorest people first. A City income tax would not be so regressive, even if it were a flat tax. It would also make more sense to charge every resident of Rancho Cordova something to live here. - Nancy |
| So Sound Off. Tell us what is on your mind about Lincoln Village. Here are the guidelines: - To have your views posted in Sound Off send them in an e-mail to Admin@LincolnVillage.org - Make certain to have "Sound Off" in the subject line. - Include your full name at the bottom of the e-mail. - If you wish to use a pen name for Sound Off postings you may do so, but we still need your real name on the bottom of the original e-mail. Here are a few suggestions: - Try to limit yourself to one page per topic. - If you have multiple topics to chat about, send in one posting per topic. - If you are extra mad, upset, or ticked off when you write your contribution consider waiting until the next morning before you hit the "send" button, because once it's here it's fair game for posting. The Administrator's policy - I will post nothing that is illegal. - I will edit words and phrases that I don't want people under 18 years of age reading on this site. - If you ramble, I will edit you to less space. - Graphics, attachments and images don't always work on this website as well as on your pc at home. I reserve the right to trash them, rather than post them. - The website is about Lincoln Village. Postings should be of a local nature. (Lincoln Village - great! Rancho Cordova -usually ok. Sacramento County or the metro region - try the Bee. Anything of a state wide, national, or international nature - no way, get real people.) - I will TRY to post items the same week your email is sent. (Remember, I am not getting paid to do this, it actually cost me time and money, so bare with me.) - The Administrator reserves the right to add any other policy points he/she needs to. |
| No New Taxes - No On B 13 April 09 I do not support any new tax increases for any reason. We are paying above and beyond what any person walking on God's beautiful green earth should be paying to aid the Governments' endless spending!! Stop making the poor more poor and more dependent on the Government! - Bobbie Z |
