Good Morning. Please read the following. We are in for seriously increased taxes, due to several "solutions" coming down from the State, the County and our Cities. The County wants half a cent for roads, our cities want a half a cent for cops, Arnie wants one whole cent for his profligate spending, and they will still sell off the proceeds of the lottery. Modesto is continuing to increase your water, sewer and garbage fees, every 6 months. Modesto is cutting on cops and firemen. Modesto is cutting on tree maintenance, meaning YOU have to maintain the city's trees and mistletoe. Modesto is simply NOT going to fix the roads, and not going to synchronize the lights. But, the County IS going to build an expressway to the Kamilos project at Crows Landing, like it or not. Please understand that every government you suffer under is going to invade your wallet to satisfy the need to spend more money. Even when you are trying to conserve, travel less, purchase more wisely, all the governments are looking at more devious ways to rip your hard earned income away from you and your family. California is already the most expensive state to live in, and it is going to get worse. The only hope you have is to vote "NO" on the new road tax, any other increases in sales taxes and find fiscally savvy and ethical neighbors to run for elected office. Otherwise, you will not be able to afford Modesto or even Stanislaus County. Dave
