Letter to lawmakers: “You never do the right thing. You need to step down”

Taxpayer targets lawmakers who voted for new taxes, 15% property tax hike to ‘fix’ school spending

Which legislators voted this week to raise property taxes 15-18%, create two new forms of taxation, but not cut spending?

To the editor:

The super majority never does the right thing. Rep. Bartley [“School funding bill with 15-18% property tax hike, two new taxes,” April 25 VDC] is right – and it is the same outcome that the loser dems/progs came up with after “working” on the unsustainable teachers pensions. No solution and it doesn’t stop the bleeding.

The Dems and Progs modus operandi – pretend to work on something and do nothing, then spend more money. You need to cut spending. We cannot afford a 15% property tax hike.

You never do the right thing. And it gets worse. Dems and Progs come up with garbage bills on climate that do nothing to help the planet but do plenty to hurt struggling Vermonters and are filled with negative unintended consequences. Bills that require “new hires” to implement. Guess what? We can’t afford new hires!

You need to step down. And how much are our taxes going up when we get sued for not reaching some unsustainable and unattainable climate measure? Imagine being stupid enough to vote for a bill like that. Voting against the people you “represent” by putting them in a position where they are likely to get sued! Nice work Dems and Progs. We’ll pay those who sue us with your salaries first.
