Yesterday we posted four pages of information regarding the proposed wheel tax in Jackson County. Here are the numbers:
The first post that started “a new tax”…
This post was viewed 18,000 times by 9,800 different viewers
The next post was a red box highlighting the new tax……This post was viewed by 37,000 times by 15,000 different viewers.
The next post started “kind of explains”…..This post was viewed 4,500 times by 2,800 different viewers.
The last post ( the one shown as the latest post ) was the complete audio of the County Council Meeting where the wheel tax was discussed. This post was only viewed 1,900 times by 1,100 different viewers.
And SCA finds this disturbing. This audio answers many questions without jumping off a cliff.
SCA does not know how many folks actually started listening to the meeting about at the 28 minute mark so you could hear the discussion that took place but we guess it was not 1,900 or even 1,100 times.
We understand few folks could get off work to attend a council meeting at 8:00 on a weekday but right here is your chance. It is easy to jump off that cliff with theories but unless you listen to the audio, you will never know much of what went on.
Again, SCA tried to stimulate interest in your government and somehow get you involved. But many walked on thin ice in your comments. An old proverb was written once that is good advice. “It would do no good to see yourself as other see you, you would not believe it”. All of us make mistakes and jump to conclusions at some point in our lives but that is human. Yes taxation has a bad taste in the mouths of citizens but get involved and try to know the whole story.
