Have you got a short simple draft you can post? Thanks!
I'm not the one bitching and crying like the liberal supporters of the Hairrs Walz campaign no Nov 6th. I don't have the strong vendetta to do away with property taxes like a few on here seem to. It doesn't mean I don't think those that spent time drafting the measure completely dropped the ball. If they want it that bad, then do better. They tried in 2012 and failed. One would think they would come up with a better plan in 2024. When most people fail at something, they learn and do it better the second time around. Apparently learning curve is high for some.

Yep. I would love another $3500 in my pocket every year. To not have an articulated plan of how funding would be distributed is pretty insulting to the voters and was the major reason the bill failed. Why was that part never figured out??? Dr Becker straight up admitted there was no mechanism in place and they would figure it out after it was passed. What a bunch of short-sighted BS. He admitted that additional taxes would be levied if there were shortcomings. Another crock of shit. If they narrowed it to primary dwelling and had actual figures to show what and how it would be distributed, it would have passed in a landslide. It was a shiny lure that got a lot of people to bite. I voted no because the way it was written solved nothing and had the potential to cause more problems. I’m not going to send shit down the river just to show that I’m pissed. Call me a pussy all you want, I call it being a responsible voter. The more I talked to Rick and the supporters, the more it seemed like he was in it for another future run, or had some bigger friends pushing him to be the face.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, I'm just saying "do better" to those writing the measure. Property taxes are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. If they would have put something reasonable together that had real answers, it would have passed without any problem at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it completely pisses me off they had 12 F'kn years to come up with a good plan and a supportable measure, and they completely dropped the ball. If anyone wants to be pissed about something, this should be the focus.
We can't make law by Initiated measure. we can vote for something but it is the legislator and governor to write the actual law. an example is the medical marijuana that was voted in.

Got this from a rep a few years back. Don't know if you can blow it up or zoom. This shows how complex our present system of revenues and spending are. October 2016. I would bet it is more complex now.
