DOMAIN NAME AND SITE IN PLACE TO OPPOSE SAN MATEO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT TAX
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 11:37 AM nosmccdtax.com has been activated and the site is ready for use to oppose the junk tax that the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) Board of Trustees is going to attempt to inflict on San Mateo County's taxpayers.
Well, here we go again. The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) Board of Trustees wants to pick the pockets of San Mateo County's property owners and renters by passing a tax during these tough economic times. The SMCCCD needs to get a clue that they need to make do with the money that California's taxpayers have laready given them and continue to give them every year. San Mateo County's taxpayers have to live within a set budget so why does the SMCCCD think they don't?
At their March 10, 2010 Board Meeting, the SMCCD Board of Trutees will probably vote to move forward with putting a new tax proposal on the Tuesday, June 8, 2010 election ballot.
The SMCCCD Board thinks they can put this junk tax on the ballot and automatically get it approved. After all, they paid $41,000 of your tax dollars to a polling firm who told them they could get away with this nonsense. Well, they may pass this tax, then again they may not pass it. Either way, they are not going to pass it without one hell of a fight from taxpayers who think the the SMCCCD Board of Trustees are way out of line putting this junk tax on the ballot during these bad economic times. Perhaps if these "Board Members" had to pay the cost of putting this junk tax on the ballot, instead of using our taxpayer money for this nonsense, they would think twice about it.
On February 9, 2010, an article appeared in the Beacon titled:
In this article, I made the following observation:
The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) paid Godbe $41,000 of your taxpayer money for this telephone poll. The SMCCCD claims that they need money. Yet they have $41,000 to pay Godbe to call 1,200 people.
This is just one example of the type of money wasting stupidity that not only tells us the SMCCCD has taxpayer money to burn but also serves as a warning that the SMCCCD canot be trusted to make prudent decisions about the expenditure of the taxpayer money being handed to them each year. This is just one of the many examples of waste by the SMCCCD that we will be bringing to voter's attention during this campaign.
San Mateo County's taxpayers are being buried in taxes. We are being taxed time after time after time by the same government taxing authorities who never seem to have enough money when it comes time to put another tax measure on the ballot but always have enough money to pay for the platinum plated salary, benefit and retirement packages handed out to the bureaucrats who work for these government institutions that are always pleading poverty.
Enough is enough. It's time to say no to more taxes.
