I’m not surprised that Angelina’s voted themselves a tax increase. Even in conservative Bakersfield, people were happy To increase their property taxes every time a school whined that they needed more money to educate the illegals. The fact that test scores are in the toilet and kids are graduating high school without being able to read and write at an eighth grade level didn’t seem to be a problem for these voters, being willing to throw away more money on the failing schools.
So we moved to Tennessee. People here seem to be a lot smarter. They complained when vehicle registration is threatened to be increased over $25. So the county decided to keep it the same :-) you have to fight every single increase, or they will nickel and dime you to death. The Liberals don’t give up so we have to fight back just as hard. Unfortunately even California conservatives haven’t learned this.
That’s why we moved to Tennessee. If you strike up a conversation and you don’t know where your gas tax dollars go, you’re considered intellectually substandard.
