Budget crunch my butt! I say let the public put up for vote, a wage freeze on salaried govt. employees. local, county and state. with elections coming up, you know the first thing on their agenda will be a pay hike for themselves! we can't vote a pay hike for ourselves, why should they. when they applied for the job,they knew what it paid. and should be satisfied with that, plus what they earn from their other businesses.I keep hearing them whining about how we will have budget shortfalls because of amendment one. but they still refuse to limit their fat porkbarrel projects. instead trying to squeeze more money out of us. we can't fill OUR vehicles at the govt. gas pumps, we pay higher prices for gas, food, airfare,etc. but can't vote an increase in our pay to keep up with rising prices! why should the politicians? yet they do it every time they get into office! NO MORE!!! let us vote on pay hikes for politicos! NOT them!

The tax amendment is coming up for a vote jan 29. the fat cats in office in various counties are trying to sway you to vote no by saying services will be affected if it passes. truth to be told services will be affected, but only because these same politicians are wasting your money on pork barrel projects, per example pamphlets to warn you of possible service cuts if the amendment passes,$30,000 tax dollars were used for this scare tactic. $50,000 tax dollars for weed control on a semi-private lake,(one where the general public can't access for their boats) the list goes on. the city and county governments refuse to tighten their belts, and frivolusly waste our hard earned money, yet they can always find room for spending on their favorite projects instead of providing the services that we deserve. remember this at election time, do NOT re-elect those who continue to pick your pockets, while lining theirs! they are the ones against the property tax amendment. because it would give them less money to spend on themselves!
