These Guys Voted For Tax Increases

I've debated posting this for a few days, and finally decided to do it; after all, it's a matter of public record.

The following candidates for Woodford County Board in the Republican Primary voted for the 44% property tax levy increase last year:

- James Booth
- Ron Call
- Dave Griepentrog
- Ken Uphoff
- Larry Whitaker.

Now, I don't know about you, but a lot of folks think a price should be paid for this kind of thing, and that the polls are the place to collect.

As always, I leave it to the good judgement of the voters, which is more it seems than can be said for some Board members on many issues.

The [Peoria]journal[Star] may have picked their candidates [for endorsement], but they don't pay your taxes.

Ronald Call retired from the J.S. Why else would anyone pick someone who voted to raise your county taxes 44%?

Arden Baldwin - most people understand when you have relation employed in a government job you are not supposed to be helping them along, or giving them tremendous raises with our money. At home or in the private[sector] that is a different story.

If you are tired of progressively paying higher taxes ,the common since thing to do is put conservative people in ,it is as simple as that.
