		<description>These people need a basic coarse in economics.  The reason sales tax revenue is going down is, (drum roll please,) because sales are down.  Sales will drop even further with a sales tax increase.  Do you take anything into consideration other than your administrative perks before you make these proposals?  Our costs have gone up too without raises.  That&#039;s life.</description>

		<description>You have the absolute right to hand the city your whole paycheck if you choose to.  You do not have the right to demand that we do the same.  I am tired of local tax extortion!</description>

		<description>As a disabled citizen, this city gives me nothing but grief, so no new taxes please.  Live on your present resources, as the rest of us must.  Measure R has given me nothing as a non-driver.  Enough is enough!</description>

		<description>Again NO TO NEW TAXES!!! Measure T funds police and fire. Measure R funds roads. Plus it gives power to City Council to change spending to whatever they want with no citizen accountability.</description>
