I've never met a referendum that hasn't passed with overwhelming success in my town. Of course, the tax referendums always get put on the ballot during a non-mid term or primary election year to ensure that the least amount of people vote as possible who might otherwise say no. Yes, the constituency is stupid.
Yes, sheeple just blindly vote "yes" on every damn school bond and parks/rec bond in our too-blue county in NoVA EVERY. DAMN. TIME. I started voting "no" on all bonds a decade ago...they already tax us to death.
I'm baffled that so many are willing to give hundreds of dollars more away every year who would otherwise spit in your face if you asked them for a favor or for some assistance. This happens in both BLUE and RED areas alike. I ask people why're they're comfortable having to work even MORE hours for free with no monetary benefit added for themselves or their families? I'd rather not work at all if I'd have to give it all away, and that gap is closing these days.
Household income way down, inflation way up but every damn tax levy in Hamilton County Ohio PASSED!
Central ohio too....I don't get it
Rigged,plain and simple. The abortion thing would have been believable, but people don't vote to raise taxes when they are broke.
^^^ THIS ^^^
yea have no idea who the hell voted for these tax levys.
