Here it comes....

Dorrian said he’d like to put an income-tax increase before voters in November 2007, although he hasn’t discussed it with anyone yet or settled on how much the city should raise its 2 percent tax.

"I’d like to see a lot of collective minds put on this," Dorrian said. "It absolutely demands a lot of community input."

It was 1982 when voters last agreed to raise the tax, from 1.5 percent to 2 percent. It was 1970 when they voted to raise it from 1 percent to 1.5 percent.

The city must go to voters to raise the income tax again.

[Edmund Burke]

Well, the last time they bumped it (from 1.5 to 2) was 1982...a far different climate.  I'm betting this won't be voted in, although Columbus is as blue as the Danube!

Given that you get charged this 2% if you WORK in Columbus (even if you don't live there), has anyone ever challenged it as "taxation without representation?"  Just wondering.

Don't rising wages automatically allow for growth in the tax receipts, as cited in the article?  (DUH!) :huh:

So what could cause a need for a hike in the tax percentage, other than our government continuing to spend beyond its means!?!?  And beyond the rate at which community members wages are increasing?

When will it end?  :blink:  Anyone? :unsure:

It won't end, not as long as the Demonazis continue to control Columbus City Council.

If and when we ever replace the Franklin Country RNC Leaders and begin to put true Conservative candidates up for City Council, maybe then it will end.

Otherwise, we're just blowin' in the wind.

Oldwine:

Phil Harmon, Eddie Pauline and Alicia Clarke were three outstanding candidates for Columbus City council. Nick Cipiti was an oustanding candidate 2 years ago. It is not enough to find and recruit them. You have to support them. You have to get involved in their campaigns, write letters to the editor on their behalf and believe  that you can make a difference. It's not a lot of fun being in the permanent minority but sometimes, and you never know when, voters will see the light. Don't believe it? Ask Newt Gingrich.

Keep the faith..  

Why don't they just get it over with and raise income taxes to 100%?

As far as counting on Republicans to re-take Columbus, that is very doubtful.  I think most Republicans have moved out of the city and many out of the county.  

It's a self-reinforcing cycle of dependency on the government.  Anyone who doesn't need govt. services to survive is leaving the city.  It's true some new people arrive, but they quickly wisen up.  

I always tell people a general rule about 3rd world cities compared to American cities.  In 3rd world countries, their seat of government is always the most active economic and social place because everything depends on govt.  In well developed countries, you can always see large dynamic cities that formed around economic resources, raw materials, or location.  Cleveland and Cincinnati were such places formed for economic reasons, but they're shrinking now, and only state spending is keeping Columbus from going down with them.  But it's a house of cards.
