Happy Saturday, May 10! Also today: Next steps in the fight to rename York County's Magruder Elementary; Williamsburg approves a $103.3 million budget.
What are these people thinking when they want to raise tax rates? It seems to me that they are disconnected from reality. My Social Security increase for 2025 was 2.5%. My property tax increased 32.5%. How about instead of raising taxes, you cut your budget to be within the limits of the revenue you collect now. We do not need to change school names, or build a new building for county employees. Upgrade the building you have as I am sure you can make it shiny and feeling new at less the cost. Please extract your heads from dark places and think about what you are proposing while the whole country is struggling to just put food on the table. It is beyond my comprehension to understand why...well, maybe not. The Bible predicts these things, but it certainly does not mean you have to bow down to greed and stupidity
Come out tomorrow night, May 13th, 5PM, Bldg F, 101 Mounts Bay Rd to tell the Supervisors that they are spending our money, not theirs. They are killing small businesses, seniors on fixed incomes, and the working poor.
A 2-cent tax credit is a joke. The supervisors raised taxes 21% then want to get credit for "giving" a small portion back - while they decide how high to raise the meals tax. These guys have to go
