[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not be voting for, and or I will be voting against anybody who voted to eliminate this:

Voting in favor were Fani-González, Balcombe, Evans, Katz, Luedtke and Stewart.

Voting no were Friedson, Glass, Jawando, Mink and Sayles.

But I conveniently noticed that the people who are voting against are people who are running for county executives. I’m sure if they weren’t running they would be voting for. [/quote]

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I think Glass is probably the only one who would have voted for it. Jawando proposed an alternative budget that kept the ITOC in place. Friedson always votes against taxes (but for spending, so I’m not sure how that will work if he is county executive).

I can’t help but notice that the tax increase fell disproportionately on people who own the county’s most affordable homes. The areas that were just upzoned in the Friedson/Fani-Gonzalez upzoning plan have heavy concentrations of these homes. I guess this is one way to get people to sell so that they can get the apartment developers in there. [/quote]
