The Woodford County Journal today hits one completely out of the park with its editorial entitled, "Tax Swap Plan Needs To Stay Shelved".
Our compliments to the staff over there, and we hope they won't sue us for linking to a photocopy of the piece. In fact, run out and buy a copy of the paper, just to be safe.
The proponents of the Big Swipe feel they have momentum but we're not so sure the folks won't rise up when they see what is really going on, who's behind it, and what is at stake.
We particularly enjoy the passage which fearlessly states:"It is easy to point to increased property taxes as arguments for a funding crisis. It is more logical, however, to address the increasing spending - on transportation, utilities and especially salaries and benefits - to see the money feeds a proverbial elephant growing in the living room . . . most of the money won't go to educate children, it will go to pay for past (and we dare say, future) poor choices at the state level"The emphases, as always, are our own.
