Not only Taxation without Representation, but Taxation into Submision

144 Comments


Not only “Taxation without Representation”, but “Taxation
into Submission”.

 

The Fort Smith city government and their hired shakedown
artists.                          10/27/09

 

In the throes of a recession/depression that shows no signs
of abating these shakedown artists are looking at raising taxes $11.55
million.  These artists are enamored with
the bureaucratic scam of the phrase “Quality-of-Place”, cover slogan. 

 

Priorities you say?  The
data listed below, compliments of City Administrator Dennis Kelly.

1.      $3.3
million for trails

2.      $1.5
million for riverfront promenade.  Who
owns the riverfront?  And what does the
promenade include?

3.      $2.5
million for the city’s ½ share contribution to an aquatic center in Ben Geren
Park.  What you are proposing results in
double taxation. Again, no vote by the taxpaying citizens?

4.      $1.1
million per year for that white elephant called the Convention Center. 

5.      $1.7
million for a riverfront sports venue (?) 
Who owns the riverfront?

6.      $250,000
for the U.S. Marshall Museum originally billed as a private donors project?

7.      Another
$100 grand per year for the city’s share of aquatic center’s operation.

 

The above can only be called an illegal, criminal shakedown
and a total disregard for the producers.

 

City Administrator Kelly, pushing for a 3% prepared food
tax, allows, and not to worry, 40% of the revenues would come from
non-residents.  Mathematical
wizardry. 

 

Kelly, with another one of his ethical gems, states the city
should strong arm the citizens by the administration passing the first percent
to cover the Convention Center operations, then humor the citizens by letting
us vote on the other two percent. 

 

The conduct of the Fort Smith city government is an exercise
in Chicago-style thuggery.   F. S. city
government has far too much of our money and too many employees.   Furthermore; some microscopic oversight of
Department heads and their activities is warranted and long overdue. In
aviation parlance that is called “situational awareness”.  In ethical parlance, it’s called “Transparency”.

 

It’s obvious, particularly with the existing economic
climate, families struggling mightily, that you gentlemen have no respect for
the citizens and interested only in feathering your individual fiefdoms.  Witness recent salaries increases for city
employees—a slap in the producers’ faces.

 

Those of you who are interested in destroying Altes
Sanitation, step forward like men, and give your reasoning. What you are
proposing results in another double taxation.

 

All government programs are failed ventures, accompanied by
insatiable appetites for more power, more money, more expansionism, this
government is a classic example.  The
easiest job in the whole world is spending someone else’s money.

I will not bore you with all the “fact-finding”, “task
forces”, “retreats”, “study groups”, etc. precipitating more expansionary
programs.  If the city was truly
interested in the well-being of its citizens it would be finding ways to cut
programs and taxes in order to ease the financial burdens on taxpaying
citizens.

 

Kindest regards,
