Please contact your council with your opposition to the proposed tax increase

2 Feb
CONTACT:

TOM LANDO  – tlando@landoandassociates.com

CHICO CITY COUNCIL – as a group, dpresson@ci.chico.ca.us. Individually – aschwab@ci.chico.ca.us; aholcombe (same), mgoloff, bevans, msorensen, sgruendl, jwalker. This might be a good tack – some people are distrustful of a “form letter” sent to a whole group.  Remember, Schwab and Evans are up for re-election, but it’s worth your time contacting the others as well, they’ll all vote on it.

KATY SWEENY at the Chico Enterprise Record – Ms. Sweeny is doing her own survey, you can contact her on Twitter@KatySweeny, or ksweeny@chicoer.com

KATIE SIMMONS, interim director of Chico Chamber of Commerce – katie@chicochamber.com – please ask Ms. Simmons for her support in opposing this measure that will leave you with less money to spread around town. That’s not good for her clients. 

HEATHER KEAG, director of the Downtown Chico Business Association – heather@downtownchico.com –  ask Ms. Keag for her support in opposing this tax increase. Most of the businesses Downtown collect sales tax, and they’re going to be hurting if this increase goes through.

Are you aware that CalPers had a big loss on the stock market several years ago, and we’re still paying for it? In addition to these pensions. Yes, this is where ALL your tax money goes now.
 
Wake up – when was the last time you saw anybody doing any work on the roads, how high are the weeds getting on city owned property near your house? They’ve laid off all the worker bees in favor of the suits. They’ve retired a bunch of 50 year old people, just recently, and these leeches will get paid for NOTHING for their rest of their lives, hundreds and hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars. Our city is in TROUBLE, and the talking heads can’t think of anything but how they will pay their own salaries.
 
No compromise on this tax – it’s just pig feed. Write to your mayor and council NOW  and tell them you’re not a pig farmer.
