Who will run the speed traps? Who will enforce all the idiotic laws the state has passed?<br /><br />Not paying the firemen? Oh no! Couldn't possibly have your fire services provided by volunteers like most of the nation does.Chris Mallorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-26820083343735325932010-05-01T15:48:24.666-05:002010-05-01T15:48:24.666-05:00A.

What you said was every argument for this tax in a nutshell. What you said couldn't have been said any better.G.R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-52827985245162794452010-05-01T08:10:43.314-05:002010-05-01T08:10:43.314-05:00The citizens are the heroes for voting for this ta...The citizens are the heroes for voting for this tax increase. <br /><br />No matter how bad a deal this is, we realize we need protection and we're willing to take a tax increase for it. The City Council is the enemy, and to oppose this tax would harm the citizens of Bossier City. It's like living in a high crime area, but selling your home defense guns because you're protesting against a highway tax. <br /><br />It's moronic to oppose paying for police and fire, but perfectly sensible to hate City Council's and Mayor's guts for forcing us into this. <br /><br />Remember in 2013 when the Mayor and City Council are up for reelection. They mortgaged your safety for wasteful spending and "economic development".A.Continental.Farmernoreply@blogger.com
