[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd immediately leave if it ever happened.  The county already is deep in the hole and its finances already stink.  They'd have to raise taxes even more.  And why the hell would I pay more taxes to give UBI to citizens from other countries that are here illegally?  MoCo rolls out the red carpet for illegal immigrants. [/quote]
While I'm not a huge fan of UBI, MoCo bond rating is a AAA.  I assume you know what that means, right?[/quote]

I work for the county, in the finance/budget area.   The government is rotting from within.  The average resident can't see it yet, but it's happening.   We are in the black for the first time in years, and instead of using the additional funds to identify and correct structural deficits in service delivery, it will likely all go to fairly large raises for employees -- because it's an election year.

Everything now is for show.  It's never about substance.  [/quote]

The government is rotting because of 30 years of fiscal hamstringing because of the property tax law written in 1990 that tied total revenue to inflation rather than property tax RATE. Thankfully the ballot question last year fixed that. No thanks to idiots like Robin Ficker.[/quote]

No one takes Robin seriously.  Why do you pay that loon any mind?[/quote]
