Reason 5 to vote no on sales tax

To the editor,

For me, there are at least six reasons why I am going to vote “No” on making permanent the increase to three percent in the Wasilla City sales tax.

Reason 6: We voted to make the increase to 3 percent temporary. We need to remind the City what “temporary” means. Reason 5: The list of proposed projects is bad. Reason 4: We’d need an additional sales tax increase to maintain another $85 million in capital projects. Reason 3: Voters should be deciding what projects get built: not bureaucrats.

Reason 2: I don’t believe in slush funds. The allocation of the revenue from this increase would generate too much “play money” for the City.

But, wait, there’s more...
