    Sam Adams needed more of your money for bike lanes. But keep on voting for him and his cohorts (and any property tax increase to come along).

    When millionaires and billionaires are not earning money, they pay less in taxes. Guess who has to make that up? Yep, they same guy that cannont earn a living during the lockout.

    I already got in trouble for posting something on facebook on a blazer fan being in trouble with law enforcement. I work in the RG.
    I am glad that he is speaking his voice, but this just shows a college degree still hasn't gotten him a foot in the door on a steady job.

    Property taxes are only raised through ballot measures you vote on. The only other way they rise is when your property value rises.

    Every time you vote yes for a school levy, or yes for the sherriff, or yes for road improvements, or yes for anything else that has a "$" in the ballot description, your tax bill goes up. It has nothing to do with the mayor, council, or commissioners.

    All the blame is on the voters.

    You're right.

    Maybe he should write up a resume and actively look for a position in his chosen field.

    Or is his degree in ushering?
