Salt Lake County Council approves tax hike to chirping of crickets

I didn't vote for Crockett because he seemed to much like a "know-it-all." I guess a "know-it-all" is better than a "know-nothing!" Come on Iwamoto, raise our taxes with times this hard? I confess, I must have been a "know-nothing" when I voted for you! Let me help you with your next campaign slogan, "Jani Iwamoto for Higher Taxes" At least it's full of honesty! Have a nice day!

So much for our experiment with Democrats in the County Council. Time to throw them out!

Oh my gosh you guys, waaaaaah. $10 measly dollars on a $250,000 hose to balance the budget. Or are you ok with running deficits? I didn't hear republicans crying when the (republican) state senate raised the car registration fee by $20 regardless of car value or age.

Here's an idea, shoot 10 less rounds of ammo this year and its paid for.

I have a home taxed at $585,000.00 which I cannot sell at 350,000.00. Makes me very happy when a tax hike is approved by the dark of the moon. Our country is turning into a joke.

Wow!

Sounds like Anonymous thinks everyone who doesn't approve of this tax hike is a republican.

And that every republican is a gun-crazed maniac.

Wrong on both counts, Anonymous.

I've been down the "public hearing" road before with Sandy City. The last thing elected officials want from the public is "public comment".
