Well it appears that Jim is a liar. Therefore he does not get my vote. Hello Anne Boyle, it is not so much as a vote for her, it is a vote against Jim.
do you own a home for which you pay property taxes?
No I do not own a home. Why do you ask? But there were taxes such as ambulance fees, seat tax, building code fees, intrusion alarm, plumbin fees. swer charges, mechanical codes fees. it is the fact that he said “I’m proud to say I’ve never voted fro a tax or fee increase, and under my leadership as Council President there will be no increase in taxes or fees in 2005. Both ot those are confirmed lies.
