Vote no on Initiative 1

This is a bad Initiative. It is not about college for kids. It is all about out-of-towner’s wanting to use my city’s budget to test their wishful idea and force my city into a long expensive lawsuit against the state that it won’t win.

While the battle rages and our budget drains down a swirly hole in the sewer in this futile battle, not one single cent of the “tax’ would be collected. and the out-of-towner’s want me to pay for it!. I object and I will vote no. You should vote no too.

I personally support a statewide income tax done right through the legislature but I am voting against Initiative 1 and I urge you to vote no too.
