Your help needed - Please stay tuned - More news to follow

Please check back for more accurate news on the Project Destiny proposal.

I am in the middle of figuring out exactly how much the big players will save on their taxes, how much the upper, middle and lower income groups will save and exactly why you should vote no. Let me know if you have "hard" dollars and cents figures along with quoteable public figure sources.

Additional talking points are being developed for the media. Suggestions are welcome.

I am still gathering names of people who want to work against the Destiny Proposal and who would like to help bring it down. A ballot issue committtee will hopefully be formed.

E-mail me if you are interested in participating.

I realize that this is an eleventh-hour thought, but isn't Polk County facing the need to build a new courthouse as well? That would cost at least tens of millions of dollars, given the current requirements of security, courtrooms, judicial chambers, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning, electronic communications and the like.

To me, a referendum for the courthouse takes priority over the July 10 sales tax referendum. Moreover, I am wondering if the leaders in Warren County are facing a similar situation with their courthouse, which is almost sixty years old.

For now--congratulations!!!! The sales tax proposal has been defeated on a big scale.

Hopefully this will send a BIG message to the political and business leaders that the voters--not companies such as Wells Fargo or Nationwide--have the final say on sales taxes. Let that be the lesson of the July 10 referendum.

Why levying tax become the only solution to solve today's issue that our government can not find a solution?

CUTTING THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING ... MAKING SURE THAT TAX MONEY ONLY SPENT ON TAX-PAYER WILL BE THE ONLY WAY ... AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEARD MORE TAX BURDEN YEAR AFTER YEAR ... WAHT IS GOING IN THE CAPITAL MARKET IS DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE FACT THAT AFTER TAX DISPOSABLE INCOME IS NOT ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY ...
