Public Servants or Public Thieves?                                                            November
19, 2009

Only in government is failure,  success, e.g. the Fort Smith Convention Center
is a failure but it was rewarded with $1.8 million per year in taxpayer “turn-backs
“for 11 years.  This sugar hole will dry
up next year and the public thieves, through use of force are taking dead aim
again on taxpaying citizens.

The thieves; the Board of Directors, the Mayor and other
enablers are proposing 2 avenues to raise taxes…both unconstitutional and using
force.

1.      
A prepared food tax for up to 3%, which Claude
Legris states will raise $1.8 million, precisely the same amount as the state
is giving in turn-backs.  Convenient
math?  It is said that the Center
generates nearly $700,000 in yearly revenues.

So how much does it take to run this White Elephant
yearly? 

Legris comes up with a statement “there has to be a very
solid education (propaganda?) campaign to the effect it will not put
restaurants out of business, which it won’t”. 
Legris, how do you know?  What do
you know about the liquidity of the various restaurant businesses?  Legris goes on to say “40% of the revenue
will come from people who live out of town”. So it is perfectly acceptable to
pick the pockets of out-of-towners?  By
the way Legris, where did you purchase your crystal ball?

Your statement regarding an “education campaign” denigrates
the mentality of our citizens, and for that Claude you need to be summarily
fired.

2.      
Here comes that phrase “Quality-of-Place” again.
Don’t you love the way parasitic bureaucrats can come up with such devilish
phrases?  Our city government has no
shame.  They will “just reinstate a business
license” to fund the Elephant. Who is the ultimate recipient of tax increases?

FORCE?  You bet!  You are the same bunch that in the midst of a
deepening depression (job losses, bankruptcies, foreclosures, plants shutting
down and/or moving away), gave city employees a 3% raise, and the simpleton J.P.’s
are doing the same thing for county employees. 
Where, pray tell, do you think the money is going to come from or do you
care?  Maybe an illegal Bail-out from the
bankrupt federal government?

A convention center is nothing more than a gigantic wart on
taxpaying citizens—shutter it.

You’ve recently destroyed a private business, along with a
number of jobs (Altes Sanitation), taken on an amusement park that is a proven
failure, proposing to take over Ben Geren Park, building soccer fields for
illegals, proposing to dump millions in tax funds to develop the riverfront
(have you ever core-drilled that baby?), and no telling what your involvement
is in Chaffee Crossing and the Federal Marshalls’ Museum.     Deals, deals, deals. 

Kindest regards,
