Election 2016 how the chips plop..

You get flyers in the mail and in the paper and...  This one is the local threat.. I mean treat .. Remove the h. and it's actually a nice thing..  well you decide...

I should have darkened it to be able to read it but... I saw something about this last month how the local city will enact or continue to enact a half cent sales tax for economical development and that seems fine.. But when I read about it last month, the article said they would still take that half cent as a tax even if this weren't voted for...  What??   First off, it sounds like a good idea.. Except for one thing.. The last sentence, "This is the only tool that the state of Nebraska allows cities to attract new business and retain existing business."   Yep that worked really well.. Let's see.. They lost three businesses in Tyko wire technology site.. Commercial resin (a business that coated pipe for oil companies, went toes up when the price of crude oil bottomed out (damn you Obama))  and last but certainly not the least, losing Cabellas no matter how much of it is actually gone (some estimate over half the corporate will be gone after the first of the year, one half to two thirds.. that is being nailed in the pants seriously).. So that tax really did help.. Although on the other side of this flyer it did tell of a business that moved a part of their business here as an expansion and plan to do more.. Fingers crossed that does happen.. But there is a tax for development that was put in place to fix the golf course (the all important golf course that everyone uses... fix or build a new swimming pool which was a farce, building an aquatic center that has a lot of people upset because it isn't really a swimming pool is it... And then the remainder to fix a street or two... And is this the same tax as that or are they related or???  Who knows.. Who cares i mean there are likely a lot of people who will vote for this tax knowing a year from now they will be no longer living here.. Oh well pass the hot sauce..
