Stop tax breaks for the powerful, elite
Every politician promises “I’ll be different,” yet many are soon corrupted by the powerful and influential. They soon forget “We The People” and fall right in line.
The PILOT program was established to give tax breaks to the likes of Volkswagen and other companies in exchange for bringing jobs to Hamilton County. It has been totally corrupted.
A past mayor will surely be voted a huge tax abatement for his apartment development by our Hamilton County Commission at its Wednesday meeting — over the objections of the people. These disgraceful tax gifts continually shift the tax burden to you and me — “the folks.”
Your next tax increase (and it is coming) will reflect that both mayors, City Council members and county commissioners don’t care what you think about this corruption. (Sabrena Turner Smedley, Chester Bankston and Tim Boyd the exceptions).
