Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Stupid Is as Stupid Does

Posted in: PATA
Let's talk about dumb, since there is no shame on this site.

Let's talk about claiming only $2000 comes from the CEDA at Canal Pointe as Wisniewski does on his website, when an easy call to the Township Clerk would've told him that Violet Township actually rec'd $117,694.53 last year. I thought he was all about data driven decisions. Well, it helps when your data is correct so you can make accurate informed decisions.

Lets talk about Issue 9 when if it was passed as Hackworth, Wisniewski, and Barletta would have liked ANY type of cooperation would have been shot. The charter amendment by state law would've precluded the City of Pickerington from any participation in joint economic developments. Goodbye Route 33 growth alliance for the City of Pickerington. Where was that data driven policy of Wisniewski's then?

Lets talk about fiscal conservatism when Hackworth wanted to conform boundaries, split the fire department, and increase city income taxes. Another great idea! Lets split one of the best fire deparments in the state and divide it into two. Then we get 2 fire deparments that both have to paid for, or you can contract out for one, better bend over when you walk into those negotiations.

Oh wait, I know how we'll pay for it. We'll use the Hackworth income tax increase for it! NO THANKS!

The greatest irony is now Hackworth, Wisniewski, and Barletta are all for cooperation. It must be campaign season, because their actions over the last year sure don't support their mouths.

Lastly, I love the argument that we're giving away tax dollars. It is hard to give away city tax dollars when the land isn't even in the city and may never be. Better yet maybe we could spend a fortune in attorneys for the city to fight annexation battles, delay infrastructure improvements to afford it, and in 10 years have more land good enough to build homes and strip malls on, and like the CEDA in Canal Pointe gain NO revenue from anything along 33 because our egos got in the way!

Lets get real and talk about who's really being dumb! More of Hackworth, Barletta, and Wisniewski and I'll have to get a second job to pay for all of their taxes!

Brian's right

Less than 2K in PROPERTY TAXES were collected from Canal Pointe!

Property taxes vs Income

Looks like someone wants to once again twist their words. I just checked Brian's site - he clearly states this is property taxes, not INCOME! Property taxes are what supports our Fire Department! Property taxes support our schools! Yes this is in Canal but I'm sure the Canal School District would have like to have something more than a slice of $2000 in PROPERTY TAXES.

Twist all you want to but Ms. Sanders is the only one purporting more taxes not less! Rec Center and Joint Parks district = more property taxes FRIEND!
