Johnston County
Which came first; the revenue problem or the spending problem?
Submitted by Leslie H on Mon, 10/29/2007 - 10:44pm.This weekend I recounted for the readers of this fine establishment my shocking discovery that the Johnston County Commissioners might actually have, as the astroturf group JCPOATT asserts, a spending problem.
In my diary I railed against bonds and the $29 million in interest charges JoCo Tax payers are paying as a result of our addiction to them. :) It's not that I hate bonds. I like them just fine. They are very useful, yes, even beneficial, when they're used judiciously.
What I don't like is the over use of bonds.
HELP!! My Commissioners are wasting my tax money.

I got my second glossy colored 8.5x11 mailer this week from the Home Ticks Johnston County Property Owners Against Transfer Taxes. It says,
Johnston County doesn't have a revenue problem -- it has a spending problem.
"Hmmm", I thought. No time to waste!
I'd better look into this thing, post haste!!
Actually, I had a snarky suspicion that the only problem here was the Home Ticks Johnston County Property Owners Against Transfer Taxes honesty problem. Keep reading to find out where that question led me next ...
