Hillsborough voters say 'yes' to both tax increase referendums
http://www.fox13news.com/news/local...ters-say-yes-to-both-tax-increase-referendums

TAMPA (FOX 13) - Hillsborough County voters passed two referendums Tuesday night that will increase the county's sales tax rate to the highest in the state.

With 57 percent of the vote, people in Hillsborough said "yes" to a one-cent sales tax increase that will fund transportation improvements.

"We're thrilled. We are humbled by the support that we got in every single corner of Hillsborough County," said Tyler Hudson, the chairman of All For Transportation, the group that helped craft the referendum. "There is a long list of projects we know that need to get fixed: there are potholes that need to get filled, there are sidewalks that just stop randomly on the sides of streets, and those are projects that we expect to see the county and the city to move on really quickly."

Hudson said he hopes the construction will begin as soon as possible, although a 13-member oversight committee needs to be formed first.

Drivers, some of whom are still expressing concerns, explained why they felt this tax was necessary.

"My only concern about it is, is the money going to be earmarked for what it was intended to? I've seen many projects that they say it's for one thing and then it gets diverted somewhere else," said C.J. Castro, who sits in 45 minutes of traffic everyday during his drive from New Tampa to Downtown. "Infrastructure is very important. It leads to quality of life. It also brings in more business, it brings in more revenue for the city."

Hoping they're all like Steeltime, but I have my doubts.

I worked the Republican tent at the county fair last night. We are always next to the Democrat tent, which is fine, I'm talking NASCAR with the Dem candidates for county controller and sheriff. But...this year there was a third tent for the Progressive Socialists. Never had that one before.

Watching the Dem Party splinter into disparate groups is not necessarily a bad thing........at least in the short term.

I share the same wish, Zona but also share your concern.

Commifornia liberals have made a great state unlivable, the citizens move to Arizona, and want to enact the same stupid policies that made their own ******* state unlivable.

Sound familiar? It is no different than illegals pouring over by the millions, fleeing their shithole countries, and hoping to make the United States just as bad as the **** they fled. Maybe that's why stupid liberals support illegal immigration so vigorously.

 

[Steeltime]

Trust me, you don't want people like Steeltime there.

Oh, I am what liberals wish illegals represented.

Except for my friends. They suck.

Seems like a good use of local tax dollars. It might even pay for the lost revenue from the jobs eliminated because of the minimum wage hike..

I've read some other places where this seems to be more form over substance as a lot of the people being bumped to $15/hour were already making over $14/hour. So, $14.5/hour is not a living wage but that $0.50/hour puts you over the edge?

Democrat Party passes resolution honoring the 'ethical soundness' of 'religiously unaffiliated Americans'
The Democrat National Committee has passed a resolution recognizing the "ethical soundness" of nonreligious Americans as a whole, in celebration of the growing number of voters who are religiously unaffiliated.

What are the details?
The declaration passed on Saturday applauds the fact that "religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelming share the Democrat Party's values," and states that the nonreligious "have often been subjected to unfair bias and exclusion in American society."

The document goes on to say that "those most loudly claiming that morals, values, and patriotism must be defined by their particular religious views have used those religious views, with misplaced claims of 'religious liberty,' to justify public policy that has threated the civil rights and liberties of many Americans."

The party further states that the committee recognizes the "value, ethical soundness, and importance of the religiously unaffiliated demographic, a group of Americans who contribute in innumerable ways to the arts, sciences, medicine, business, law, the military, their communities, the success of the Party and prosperity of the Nation."

Several stats were also peppered through the DNC's resolution, with the party mentioning that nonreligious Americans now represent 25 percent of the U.S. population, that the group is the "largest religious group within the Democratic Party," and that "nonreligious Americans made up 17 percent of the electorate in 2018."
