So old Uly won’t answer you?

Then I will.

Son, the reason is your rulers are crooks!

If you voted for the choo-choo “way back when” you were had!

And even if you didn’t, you were had!

Just get back to work so you can pay those taxes that are being sent to choo-choo train heaven.

Ole Uli tries to feel your pain…..The cho cho will with spirit deliver high end item boxes to mini wage fullfillment centers…taxes are low compared to Illinois, New Jersey, CT., Rhode Island , so enjoy the weather and dig deep into your Euro Purses. For your info…..the publicans are cleaning out the poor, entrepenuers….while government workers/teachers etc. count the days to spiked pensions!!

In reply to Ulysses Uhaul. But Mr. Uhaul, way back when our rulers assured us it would work. What went wrong? We all want to ride in a shiny new train.

Like in most government projects, cost overruns and miscalculations come into play. Showing a budget from CA is like fairy dust. It blows away, and the poor taxpayer in this overtaxed, over-fee based economy. They spend, we pay…. Like the gas tax, promised for repairs and new construction, it seems to have redirected to other areas….. It is time to change the legislative make up of this state. Now Water Taxes is in the mix. Basic commodities of life are being used for whatever they want. DMV, bridge tolls, hidden taxes, fee’s for things nobody knows about until they run into something. Like other states, we are on the brink of financial disaster for the middle and low income people. It is TIME for Ca folks to wake up or we will truly be the Socialist State of Taxifornia and no way out. Look at the efforts the majority party is pushing, and that is to kill Prop. 13, Property Taxes. Why do you think they stripped the State Board of Equalization to nothing. Open your eyes folks. Even at a 2% Cap on property taxes, that is STILL 10% increase every 5 years. 20% every 10 years. So, if you are LUCKY enough to have a home, and live in it for 30 years, and have a 30 year mortgage – you will be paying 60% more in property taxes than you do now……….even when you own your home free and clear… Simple math folks, 30 years X 2% = 60%. Actually more, as the 2% you paid last year will be figured in next years taxes……… Not to mention additional assessment like School Bond Taxes that pop up every voting cycle. And if you are a RENTER, you DO pay these taxes in increased rents……………Have a nice day!

The 99 corridor is deferred, not regionally planned, relies too much on low margin business and unskilled labor.

This train mess solves nothing….nothing….
