It benefits the developers who pay Zero impact fees due to discounts from the City and pay no taxes to the town for TEN YEARS. 2022-10-28T19:06:28Z Comment by Jrconnolly This Bond Should Be NULL and VOID; some of the proposed projects have already been completed! Tell me how that is possible before the citizen's vote. 2022-10-28T19:00:46Z Comment by Jrconnolly We need to start investigating all the committees formed and where these members workâimpoverishing the poor and enriching the rich. 2022-10-28T18:57:16Z Comment by Jrconnolly At a time when our City Council has put us into 1.8 BILLION dollars of debt, one of the reasons they NEVER charged developers in the past, and for many other reasons, they want to push another BOND at the worst time? The City is giving the citizens the illusion that the Developers are paying their fair share when they are not. The City creates meager Impact Fees, then discount them 100%. It sounds like the City Council is in the pocket of the developers. It might be that they funded their elections to the city council. Maybe we need to do an investigation. 2022-10-28T18:53:55Z Comment by Jrconnolly I am John R Connolly, and I live in district 5; this comment is inaccurate. (45.22-time stamp)" Let's not forget the VAST MAJORITY of City taxes are through sales taxes" That is unequivocally false- the most significant revenue coming into the city coffers is Property Taxes, period. For the year ending September 30, 2021, property tax was 32% of tax revenue and Sales tax was 27%. We are in the worst Inflationary situation our country has ever seen since 1929. The timing is the worst to be passing any bond initiative. Inflation is a bond's worst enemy. The Biden administration is KILLING our Economy, and bonds are VARIABLE rates, materials, supply chain issues, etc., which will cause this bond to be well over 700 million dollars. You can disagree, but you will be wrong. If the Left holds power in congress, this bond will cost the citizens enormous amounts of money. 2022-10-27T02:04:50Z
