It seems to me that our elected officials are set on giving our city away. If this project is going to produce revenues of 60 million a year as claimed, you can bet they will come anyway. Nothing in life comes for free. Every dollar our city gives in tax break cuts, you and I the remaining tax payer gets to carry the burden. I ask that you contact members of the Council and express your opinion. You can contact all Council Members at once by using this email, Councilmembers@nashville.gov. My opinion is that they should pay their taxes as Metro requires all other small business to pay.
When
I ran for Council at Large in 2011, the Tennessean News Paper kept
referring to me as the Frequent Metro Critic. Well in response to that
name they have given me, let me just state as long as what I believe
back room deals are being cut and placing a heavier tax burden on the
people you can bet I will continue to fight for the people. They are
already planning in my opinion a tax increase for the people and a tax
decrease for Gaylord and Dollywood. Surely , I am not the only individual
who would feel this way. Please let your voice be heard as well.
We all want tax relief, but how are we ever going to get relief when we are constantly picking up an extra load. The pack on my back is full and I do not want another symbolic tax brick piled in for me to carry. Enough is enough.
