July 05 NO To LOIT !I think you will find " fear " of one kind or another has been the weapon of choice in the political and arena and make no mistake - that is exactly what this is - so, please, grab your friends and their friends and when the Marching Hoses hit Walnut Street tomorrow night, consider the source and get a seat at CC auditorium and have your say before the CC. Of course, going in, the citizens are out-numbered already, aren't they ??? There may be only nine people seated to look after this town, but now many of them are honest with us ? This Dog and Pony Show is not so much about taxes as it is another campaign.
Well, we have one too - anyone who has been taxed enough, un-employed enough and just plain sick and tired of the lies - we have a campaign - to send the CC and their Simon Bar Sinister plan back to Hell where it belongs and learn to manage on what you have...you know, the very thing you insist we do. Sing out and see you there !
Power To The People
Do not go quietly into that good night ! Please, be at City Hall tomorrow night ! YouTube - John Lennon - Power To The People Be There Or Be Square !LOIT Tax (Local Option Income Tax)
on the City Council agenda for Monday night!!
Like putting lip stick on a pig, the additional Income Tax will double current local rate, nuetralize Modernization effort and destroy Muncie's economic development, it's only answer to it's many economic problems....
The Fiscal Body of the City, facing an imminent $4 million hit and a total $8 million shortfall over the next couple years and yet leading up to the crisis point, they didn't even feel compelled to acknowledge it. NOW, that the reality has jumped up and bloodied their nose, they intend to make the TAXPAYERS accountable!!!..
That additional $19 million that they want to thrust upon the backs of the taxpayers, is DOUBLE the entire Muncie General Fund in the current Budget. And that adds up to an ADDITIONAL $167/year FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN THIS ENTIRE COUNTY! For wage earners only, it is an ADDITIONAL $384.00/year...For households only it is an ADDITIONAL $422.00/year..For all Delaware County families it is an ADDITIONAL $679.00/year...all on the back of a major recession, 10% unemployment and 18% (or more) poverty. Furthermore, you can DOUBLE the before mentioned figures to attain the TOTAL Local Income Tax local citizens are burdened with, for we already are paying a 1.05% COIT/CEDIT! Speak Up! or Pay Up! City Council Public Hearing
5:30 pm, Monday night (7/6/09)
Muncie City Hall auditorium
Be there NO LATER than 5:30 pm and get signed up to speak because fire codes will undoubtedly be exceeded and you will not be allowed in!!
July 04 Happy 4th of July !Happy 4th of July to all of us, especially the men and women who have served and who are now serving this country and protecting our freedoms. Thank you.
 HE GETS IT !He'll vote noBRAD POLK • Muncie City Council District 4 • July 4, 2009 I believe as the Muncie City Council member elected by the voters of District 4, I have a duty to them to abide by their wishes. I have talked to and taken a survey to see if the voters would be willing to support the local option income tax that will be brought before the city council on Monday, July 6. The overwhelmingly majority of voters said no to the LOIT. I believe before we force any further taxes on taxpayers we, the Muncie City Council Finance Committee (of which I am a member), must look at cutting back the cost and expenses in financing the city of Muncie. The finance committee has had only one meeting in the 18 months I have been a member. Just for clarification, the only person who can call a committee meeting is the chairman of that committee. Therefore, I will be voting no to approve resolution 9-09 and 10-09 on Monday evening.  For the better part of two years, members and volunteers of CDCPTR have been bringing this to the Muncie City Council and in response, the Finance Committee of that council has met ONCE in 18 months.
I should also add Jerry Dishman was was present and signaled he would also vote against LOIT.
Obviously, with my luck, I don't live in their districts.
Remember these guys well, but by the same token, remember the those council members who did not hear us and who refused to prepare for what's coming at us.
