Election Deniers Are Walking Back Their Claims For the General Election

The other complicated thing about property tax is our astronomical housing valuations. The average house price in king county just crossed over 1million dollars. 0.8% of 1 million is still $8,000.

On top of that the WA state legislature, in its perennial pastime of “screw Seattle” has decreed that property tax gross receipts cannot increase by more than 1% per year - effectively cutting the county budget every year regardless of inflation or population growth. So we are constantly passing supplemental levies to restore funding.

I still can’t believe that Jackson MS which is the capitol of MS is in such a state. I know that because of white flight the city lost a lot in property values, but city can’t raise taxes unless the state legislature approves it. Which is why they have a broken down water system.

From the article, “Nobody thought Donald Trump was lying about what he thought,” said a Republican political strategist. Uhhh, sure Jan. This is the stage where, as someone said quite rightly, they’re starting to believe their own press releases. Bodes well for us non-stooge, non-wormy brained zombies … you know, The Majority. They’re in their comfy bubble; it’s up to us to fill it with noxious gases.

I’ve asked for the GOP primary ballot. It didn’t help, and got me me lots and lots of GOP fundraising phone calls. Wasn’t worth it.

I buy old (heavy, not very popular) books from English book stores, but it’s the shipping that is the bug. And it’s not going down.

I call this the Kardashian/Limbaugh Syndrome. The willingness of the average American to wowed by illusory fame and energized by raw hatred is at the core of our present troubles.

LePage is down in the last poll I saw by about 10 points. The Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine (SAM) endorsed him in 2014, but not this year and that will carry some weight. Still lots of LePage signs all over District 2.
