What’s the big deal?

Last week the county board voted to raise my property taxes, on average, about $42. So what’s the big deal? What’s $42? I’ll tell you what $42 is. Its two pair of shoes for my kids! Its two bags of groceries at Aldi’s! (Or ½ a bag at Pick n Save) Its one month of Naruto for the ol’ dad man and Sponge bob for the kiddos! It’s a house full of “Ponzo rattas” and fries on a Friday. Plus…. I thought republicans were against raising taxes, or is that only during the month before elections? (by the way, where was Slick Willy for this vote?)
