I didn't really want to take it. I thought for sure HD was going to jump on it.

And is there any idea of when it will be lifted?

The Organization pulled a full out fear campaign. "The Packers won't ever move, but they may just disband without your tax dollars for a new stadium."

53% of the cheese fed lemmings voted for it.

The estimated amount of tax per family was under-estimated. They continue to make more and more improvements not outlined in the original proposal, so the tax dollars keep rolling in.

Now that the economy is in the chitter, the amount of money rolling in has slowed. Which means the tax will be on our heads longer. And with families struggling more now than 10 years ago, I'll bet they would have rethought the voting for taxation that they would someday not be able to afford.

Taxes are my pet-peeve issue.

Why not have the owner pay for it?

I understand your peeve ... I don't support the pro teams, but would HATE to pay a tax for one . . .

I doubt SF would ever pass that kinda tax, though they might. I think maybe 2 people in that whole city are conservative.

The 2 straight guys.

LMFAO!!!

There isn't an owner of the Packers. It's "Community Owned", but a Board of Directors runs its operations. They sell truly worthless stock certicates (because they truly don't have a cash value) so some fans can wear cheese shaped styrofoam headgear with "owner" painted on the side.

They (the Packers) have taken advantage of the community repeatedly. But most people here blindly follow, and never question the Greed & Gold.

But, then again, I don't have kids, but I pay a tax for schools . . .

I have a kid, and I 100% agree with your position. You don't get any benefits from the public school. If anything, the education provided them is going to (in part) speed up your replacement in the workforce.

You paying for your eventual replacement is two-fold unfair.

As for the tax, the majority ruled. Just shows you the power of stupid people if lead effectively.

EDUCATION is the most important thing we have to offer. i don't mind paying for it.

but income tax, that is the biggest BS ever created! i get taxed for WORKING!!!!!!!!!!
