FORGET THE CALCULATORS, ALREADY!

The plan is a total scam!

1. The rollback is to all of 2006. HELLO?

2. Future caps (and ? rollback) are subject to override by out INFAMOUS county commission. HELLO?

3. The superexemption is NOT likely to pass. IF it does it will help some people but eventually VIRTUALLY ALL SOH’s will be phased out (eventually everyone moves or sells via their estate). THAT IS THE GENIUS (read evil) part of the plan. HOW DO GET THE PEOPLE TO VOTE TO REMOVE A PROTECTION THEY CHAMPIONED? Fool them into thinking the alternative is better or equal.

4. IF THE SUPERexpemption does not pass - then what did we get? A lousy rollback one to last years numbers - and caps that can be fairly easily overridden. HELLO??!!

Governor Crist: When you said taxes would fall like a rock, you misspoke. I think the simile you were looking for is FEATHER. Because THAT is how they will fall under the plan proposed by the EXPENSIVE SPECIAL SESSION.

The politicians must be laughing now: Floridians are busy running these calculators and scratching their collective heads, when they SHOULD be on the first bus to Tally to demand real reform instead of the fraud they are trying to pass for same.

I think SOH should go, the system is unfair and is taxing new homeowners (our children and grandchildren) out of Florida. SOH should be phased out and as a result voters will start paying attention to the budgeting process and will get their local officials to lower spending and taxing.

Good morning,

I enjoyed the discussion between “Neighborhood Comps” and “Rich R”. It was rational, and I understood what he was saying. Rich, he gotcha, buddy. Big time. Nothing he said was way over the top, and those are hard, real numbers. Rich, really, it’s not that bad here. I really compare this time in Florida history with the time in the early 90s when this state was getting a very bad rap because of a very few tourists killings in Miami and of those two at the rest area up on Interstate 10. It was national news for a couple of years, and Florida was getting relentlessly pounded very unfairly. Rich, you were here, you remember, don’t say you don’t. Think of how many people took advantage of all of that bad press and bought RE in the early 90s when it was in the toilet? Some of the same people back then, who jumped on the bandwagon and said Florida was the “old west” and a horrible place to live, now live here. Typical.

Bad press goes away eventually, and bad press is usually always blown out of proportion. Ignorant people and news junkies usually go overboard in their reactions to hyped news stories. This news story is way overdone and becoming a joke.

Max, the cynical side of you and the common business sense in you nailed the following, “Now this isn’t rocket science, so let’s think this through. What does PMI sell? Mortgage insurance. When are you at greatest risk of getting foreclosed? When prices drop. So what is PMI’s message? YOU NEED MORTGAGE INSURANCE! Which, just by an astonishing coincidence, we sell.” You got it. The average, ignorant slob and the typical news junkie I just described can’t see that.

Max, I am not up Rich’s a*s anymore than I am up yours. I’m on your side on many things, you know that, and on Rich’s side on many other philosophys. I actually believe you both in who you claim to be. Maybe that’s naive, but what the heII. Every now and then, you get mad at me, but relax, Max, I’m still the cw you know and love. Somebody referred to me years ago as a “likeable a$$hole.” There’s probably truth to that statement.

To the guy who compared 2004 and 2005 to story stocks…that was a great analogy. You nailed it.

To “Liars are politicians”, ok, no problem, you’re another cw hater, fine, but what I was saying when referring to you being duped is how you actually believe they are going to listen to you and your little march on Tallahassee is going to amount to anything. They don’t care. Your “correspondence to Sen Pruitt” ended up in the round file and Savior Ken never knew it existed. Cynical? Maybe, but more realistic and probable than anything else. When you said, “The politicians must be laughing now: Floridians are busy running these calculators and scratching their collective heads….” You are right.

I find it laughable that people are plugging in their numbers on these calculators wasting their time. I don’t like it anymore than you do, but our taxes are not going down any time soon. Not just here, for all you doomers out there, but everywhere. Deal with it. …and yes, our elected leaders laugh at you, and don’t care about you. They suck. We all know that. Just don’t look to them to make a difference in your everyday life. They are not saviors. Actually, they are more your enemy than your savior. I’ve kept the old 60s mantra “Question Authority” in my back pocket ever since I first heard it as a kid, and I’m no old hippie. It’s just a very valid way to view business and life, and is actually very patriotic.

Old Dog is rapidly becoming irrelevant and beyond boring. He’s been beaten down to a pulp. He has about as much to say as Steve or Average Guy. As one guy said yesterday, I’m in the same boat as him. I’ve been renting houses in Palm Beach County since the early 90s and renters have never been difficult to find. Old Dog, if what you say is true, your marketing skills must be weak, and/or the company you work for totally blows. What is probably more true though, is the fact that your clients who own those units are the people I have been describing for months. Greedy, ignorant, and bandwagoned with no back up plan, those people are destined to fail. There is an old saying that applies here. You can’t do busines with people who don’t have any money.” They will bring you down with them. Let them fail. It is good. Just stay out of their way. Those properties aren’t renting because the bones of the whole deal are bad. Garbage in , garbage out. Don’t do business with people like that. I told a partner yesterday, in discussing a prospect who he has been dealing with, I told him to tell the prospect to go blow. There are some people you just don’t want to do business with. It’s a waste of your time. You already know this, you just told us you know it, when you called them “foolish owners”.

As to my ““richer/holier than thou” commentary.”….First, I’ve never claimed to be rich. I’m very middle class, but I’m not like everyone else. Most everybody, not all, in the middle class are struggling financially because of their own greed, wants, and keep up with the Jones’ attitude, and worse, their misguided passion for wanting to try impress somebody, like the a-hole who keeps the sticker price pasted to the window of his new car for two months. That guy is broke and an idiot. We’re all impressed. Somebody mentioned something about a $500 purse. Middle class people have no business pi$$ing money away on $500 purses when they are paying on an automobile and carry massive credit balances every month.

What you don’t like is my confidence and my apathetic attitude on trying to impress anyone. I could care less about impressing my neighbors. I’m sorry about that, but that’s your problem, not mine.

BTW, how much is your car and heloc payment this month? I’m not trying to pi$$ you off by saying that, for all I know you have no massive car payment or heloc payment. What I am trying to show some out there is how financially foolish they are with their ridiculous spending, and more importantly, how they are completely ruining their financial future. The only thing I know about a $500 purse is that someone just spent $462 too much for a purse.

Outraged by county’s budget call on schools

I am writing to make you aware of a looming budget crisis for Union County Public Schools — propagated entirely by the Union County Board of Commissioners. They have voted to reduce the amount proposed for next year’s budget by the Board of Education by nearly 15 percent.As a resident of Union County, UCPS parent, and PTO president (Kensington Elementary), I am outraged by this arrogance. After encouraging unprecedented growth in the county by eliminating all financial responsibility for this growth for the developers and builders, the county commissioners threaten to deliberately undercut the quality and reputation of Union County schools.

With these budget cuts come the elimination of assistant principals, guidance counselors, reading recovery programs, services for academically and intellectually gifted students, school nurses, school maintenance, classroom supplies and more.

Six new schools are scheduled to open in the fall; they will open underfunded — and existing schools will fall behind academically and in routine maintenance. …

Our children deserve better: Fully fund schools

I am a resident of Union County, and my children will attend Weddington schools. We moved here almost six years ago, before we even had children, because of the quality of education in Union County and specifically Weddington.

I am distressed that what I know is already a difficult situation (crowding, mobile classrooms, teacher shortages) is coupled with a projected 12.5 percent increase in student population. And we are facing a budget shortfall.

I urge you to give further consideration to the budget needs of our community, to appropriately fund the growth of the schools that the county has allowed to occur. Our children deserve better than mobile classrooms. They deserve better than eating lunch at 10:30 a.m. due to overcrowding. They deserve better than getting a 6:30 a.m. bus because we can’t afford enough buses for appropriate routing.

It is unfair for our children to pay the price for the county government’s inability or lack of interest in controlling the growth. Please work diligently toward a successful resolution to this matter — a fully funded budget that allows our children to continue their excellent education and our county to continue to prosper.

Tracy Phipps

Continue stories of student success

After concluding my fourth year of teaching here in Union County, I am reflecting on the joys of changing the lives of children… and looking toward the future.

It is in looking toward this future that I was shocked to find Union County Schools may not have the funds to continue in the way of excellence they have been proceeding….

I can only dream of how Union County children might one day affect our world for the positive. I know this is possible because I am a product of the Union County school system, and I went on to graduate from college as a North Carolina Teaching Fellow with Honors, spent time giving back in Johannesburg, South Africa, and have gone on to volunteer in many aspects of our area. I teach at Indian Trail Elementary, and am currently pursuing my master’s in guidance counseling. I credit many of the teachers who took the time to teach and love me well, for developing me into an individual who cares not only about myself but about those around me and the world I live.

I urge you to reconsider the cuts in the 2007-2008 school budget…. Becky Knight

Third Grade Teacher

Money for schools now…or jails later?

As a resident of Union County, I am extremely concerned over the commissioners’ apparent lack of concern for the fiscal needs of our school system. The education of the children of our community should be our No. 1 concern as a society. Invest in them now, or we had better be prepared to deal with the consequences later.If we cannot afford to invest in our future leaders, then what should we expect when it is their turn to lead? Invest in schools now or jails later. I urge our county commissioners to reconsider the recent school budget decision and put the funds into our school system for our children. The decisions will be remembered at election time.

Hidden fees attached to new homes 06/20/2007 08:53 AM By: Jennifer Moxley

CHARLOTTE — Many North Carolina counties are already imposing additional fees on new housing developments and others are considering the idea.

Home builders associations say the fees, which can be as much as $14,000 a home, are hidden taxes but government leaders say they need the money to offset the burden on public services.

“The homebuyer probably isn’t going to see on the closing statement $14,000 Union County impact fee, $8,000 Cabarrus County impact fee,” said Mark Baldwin, executive vice president of the Homebuilders Association of Charlotte. “It’s just going to be in the cost of the house.”

The fees are part of adequate public facility ordinances. Many North Carolina counties have them or are considering imposing them. The fees are designed to offset the expenses new home developments create, especially the cost for new schools.

[The fees are designed to offset the expenses new home developments create, especially the cost for new schools.] The fees are designed to offset the expenses new home developments create, especially the cost for new schools. “Any new fees imposed by the government, local or state government, to new housing definitely hurts the first time homebuyer, the low income homebuyer, because it’s a charge that everybody has to pay,” Baldwin said.

Cabarrus County commerce director Jonathan Marshall says there is another way to look at those fees levied on new development.

“I think where the commissioners are looking at it is on balance, saying is that fair that everyone across the board pays those additional taxes on school construction when it’s really the result of the new growth,” he said.

Every county that has an adequate facilities fee uses a different formula to determine the fee but advocates say the goal is to keep property taxes from going up.

“The primary way we raise revenues are through property taxes, and that would be the primary way we would pay for this is to raise property taxes to pay for the school construction,” said Marshall.

In some counties, including Union, the adequate public facilities fees vary based on which school district a new subdivision is being built in. Schools that have more overcrowding issues levy higher facilities fees.

dear friends of ours who moved to up to NC 5 years ago due to a family emergency, are trying to get back. The change they have seen in the last few years of stressed roads, overcrowded schools, and rising crime that the local governments can’t get ahold of, is driving them out. People are moving there, they say, but at the same time, they know long time residents who are getting out and moving to TN, AR, KY, and WV to escape the future Florida, as one long time resident told our friends as they moved away last month for TN.

Good luck to you up there, Carolina Gal. You’ll need it.

Study Says Property Values More Than 60 Percent Likely To Drop.

Reports show that the real-estate market is in a slump nationwide. But a new report ranks the Palm Beaches among the five riskiest real estate markets in the country for home owners.

It claims the value of property in the area is more than 60 percent likely to drop further in the next two years.

By Steve Sbraccia General Assignment Reporter WNCN-TV SPRING HOPE, N.C. — The search continues this morning for the man police say carjacked a mother and her young child before holding them hostage for 20 minutes.

Discuss This Story

It happened Saturday night in Spring Hope just west of Nashville in Nash County.

The victim told NBC17 that she used the power of words to convince their abductor not to harm her or her daughter and eventually to set them free.

Reports indicate that the carjacker pulled out a post and mailbox and left it in the middle of an intersection where 23-year-old Edith Tabron was forced to stop.

“So I moved the mailbox to the median by the stop sign,” Tabron said.

At that point the carjacker ran from his wooded hiding place and forced Tabron and her 3-year-old daughter into the backseat of her 2004 Chrysler Pacifica.

“We approached police where they had a traffic stop,” Tabron said. “They had a car by the side of the road. He immediately made a right on a side road to avoid where the police where.”

For the next 20 minutes Tabron and her daughter were held hostage on the rural roads of Nash County.

“I’m begging and pleading please let us go—- my daughter needs medical help,” Tabron said.

But the carjacker insisted they stay with him until he reached Raleigh where he said he had to work out family issues.

“I said we don’t have enough gas to get to Raleigh,” Tabron said. “He said: ‘Shut up, I have money for gas. My purse was on the seat so obviously he wasn’t after money.”

At one point the carjacker caught Tabron trying to call 911 on her cell phone.

“He passed by a church and said ‘I can’t let you go till I have your cell phone,” Tabron said.

But a passing vehicle unnerved the carjacker and he pulled over the side of the road and let Tabron and he daughter run for their lives — right up to a resident’s side door.

Tabron told us that never again will she get out of her car like that on an isolated road and she says that she’ll always make sure the doors are locked in the future.

So far no arrests have been made in this case.

Police say the suspect was last seen driving the victim’s white 2004 Chrysler Pacifica.

It had a North Carolina license plate number TZD-4287.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Nash County Sheriff’s Office.

By Liars are politicians

Dearest CW: Now what would make you think I hate you? I don’t even know you. All I have to go by are your arrogant/judgemental/knee jerk rants that you post with abandon. I’m not too fond of those, admittedly, but you seem to be very proud of them, so I expect them to continue.

Point in case? You write: “To “Liars are politicians”, ok, no problem, you’re another cw hater, fine, but what I was saying when referring to you being duped is how you actually believe they are going to listen to you and your little march on Tallahassee is going to amount to anything. They don’t care.

Not so fast. They DON’T care when a handful of angry people show up and timidly protest their garbage legislation or whatever. But never underestimate the power of real protest becuase our history proves its effectiveness. personally at this point, I could care less - if Americans (in this case Floridians) are too stupid and keep drinking the koolaid, they’ll get the type of state/country these crooks want to design.

I do agree with you that those who overspend are playing RIGHT INTO THE HANDS of pols: When you pacify people with all the toys currently and readily available these days, they are LESS likely to pay attention to those who are robbing the treasury.

but re this: Your “correspondence to Sen Pruitt” ended up in the round file and Savior Ken never knew it existed. Cynical?

No - just downright wrong. My correspondence was answered with a phone call from a Legistlative Aide - who then followed up virtually every question/comment via email with a response… Did it change anything? No. Am I shocked (“duped”) because they didn’t give us what they promised? Are you kidding? If you could see me, you’d know I wasn’t born yesterday - wink wink.

Finally we agree on something: When you said, “The politicians must be laughing now: Floridians are busy running these calculators and scratching their collective heads….” You are right.

But you still couldn’t resist showing what a presumptive _ you are: As to my ““richer/holier than thou” commentary.”….First, I’ve never claimed to be rich.

CW: The slash mark means ‘either or’ K?

I’m very middle class, but I’m not like everyone else. Most everybody, not all, in the middle class are struggling financially because of their own greed, wants, and keep up with the Jones’

WHY must you assume that everyone is in this category? Some people are in trouble for all kinds of reasons outside their control: health issues, job loss, etc. It’s important not to assume that ALL people act out of greed… and I see no disclaimer showing you GET that…

Then you say: What you don’t like is my confidence and my apathetic attitude on trying to impress anyone.

NOPE. What I don’t care for is your presumptive arrogance. Can you determine the difference?

BTW, how much is your car and heloc payment this month?

Oh, one who must assume: Car is paid off and what is a heloc?
