Humboldt Taxpayer's League tells off the County Board of Supervisors

This is the text of a paid political advertisement against Measure Z paid for by Humboldt Taxpayers League which willappear in the Times-Standard tomorrow:

Measure Z is an unfair tax that Humboldt County just can't afford
Fixed income Seniors can’t afford additional taxes.

Working families need to be able to feed their children first.

Don’t let the County put another hand into your pocket by
adding to existing state and city sales taxes.

The Cities of Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna, Rio Dell, Ferndale and
Blue Lake could be taxed an additional 12 million dollars
each year.

We don’t need another reason to send our business purchases to
Crescent City, Ukiah or Oregon.

Will Measure Z funds even be used for public safety? Our supervisors
have already made a “special” deal to give most of our county employees
a $700 bonus. That is over a 1 million dollar bonus on the
backs of tax payers that won't provide any additional services at all.

These are funds that could have gone to public safety.

Voting “No on Z” tells county government
live within its means, as we all do.

If you don't think you can afford more taxes for
the same services,

Speak Up!?
Vote No on Z

Do you agree with the Taxpayer's League? The same arguments can be used against Measure Q. So you cannot be against 1 and then for the other.
