Claims City Already Has Enough Money
There was a time when the
City of Hurricane was a quiet little town.
That time has come
and gone.
Because several years ago, an out of state douchebag
moved to town and immediately started causing trouble.
Now, in an unsigned “editorial” that is nothing more than another one of his thinly disguised personal rants,
Mark Halburn continues to unethically promote his own self interest by ostensibly railing against an excess levy.
It’s really nothing more than a continuation of his personal vendetta against local politicians and government employees. Sure, nobody likes paying their taxes, especially goatse boy, but this goes beyond that.
He whines that the Hurricane city council “arrogantly refused to vote to pave the last dirt road in town.”
What road might that be?
Grace Drive of course. The very street that the author lives on.
Is this fact disclosed in the article?
Of course not.
Then he says, “Since the last Excess Levy passed, electric and water rates have had double-digit percentage increases. Gasoline prices are at $2.55 a gallon and were above $4 a gallon, causing a huge financial strain on families and businesses that they are just starting to recover from. Putnam County voters recently generously passed a school bond that will increase their property taxes at a time when many are without jobs or have taken pay cuts. Health insurance premiums are at record levels.”
But that only happened to you, right?
No, dickwad, it happened to everyone, INCLUDING city governments.
Their costs have gone up too, same as everybody else.
And he continues,”…Hurricane voters can’t afford afford to vote for a renewal of the Excess Levy. The $8 a month figure that Edwards is using in his rhetoric adds up to $96 a year, which most of us can use to pay a utility bill.”
$8.00 a week? You eat that much in candy bars, fatboy.
You know what, asshole? Our utility bills might not be as expensive if you’d quit filing frivolous complaints with the PSC every time your power goes out for 9 minutes.
Then he wants someone to, “Convince the Putnam County Development Authority to redevelop the neighborhood next to Walmart. This will also help the Hurricane Marketplace/Walmart Shopping Center attract more tenants providing even more jobs and revenue.”
Which you hope will put money into your pocket, shitbag.
How convenient. Do you disclose that your wife and mother-in-law own property in the very neighborhood about which you write? The very property that you forced your wife to decline a offer that was made to buy it?
Hell no you don’t.
And
“Eliminate the wasteful city manager salary”
You’ve had a hard on for Ben Newhouse since he wouldn’t roll over and kiss your enormous ass.
You’re a biased, unethical piece of shit.
For a “man” that doesn’t have the guts to stand for election, you’ve sure got all the answers for Hurricane’s problems.
And the county says the fair market value of your wife’s property is $89,100. You can bet your big ass if they assessed it for $399,000, you’d be down there screaming.
You want to talk about a tax scam?
Let’s talk about someone that runs a business out of his wife’s home, brags about how much money it generates and then doesn’t pay ONE DIME of B&O taxes to the City of Hurricane.
Let’s talk about that.
