Podcast# 232 Oregon Matters: Salemites About to be Once Again Financially Sodomized by Eager City Council.
Hello everyone, it's Earnest here, discussing the Salem City Council's financial decisions. Today's topic is the budget crisis in Salem and the new tax proposal that's causing a stir among residents. The City Council, influenced by Governor Kotex, is proposing a new payroll tax to cover their overspending, particularly with regards to the police department. However, the likelihood of this new tax proposal being put to a public vote is slim to none.
A few years ago, the Salem Police Department went over budget by 11 million dollars on their new headquarters. Yet, there's no talk of them paying back this money. Instead, the City Council is proposing a new tax, ignoring the impact on the residents.
In my opinion, a better solution would be to deduct the overspent amount from the salaries of everyone working at the Salem Police Department. This could potentially reduce the amount needed from the proposed payroll tax, or even eliminate the need for it altogether.
But the City Council doesn't seem interested in this solution. Instead, they're focused on increasing the number of police officers, despite the dire need for road repairs in Salem. It seems like their priorities are skewed towards protecting their own interests, rather than serving the public.
In conclusion, the Salem City Council's financial decisions are causing more harm than good. They need to start listening to the public and making decisions that benefit everyone, not just themselves. Remember, there are no bad words, just bad actions. Until next time, this is Earnest, signing off.
