National Guard troops fired upon demonstrating Kent State students. Eight were killed. The students were protesting the Vietnam war. i.e. Government troops killed American citizens and the citizens were not harming the troops.
I read on ResistNet that there had been 4500 parking permits issued for buses that day in D. C. The latest number quoted to me yesterday at the Yorktown Tea Party in Virginia was 4700. Folks, that is over 250,000 PATRIOTS not counting those arriving by plane, train and automobile!! I would not be surprised to see 500,000! Our little county of 9,000 has filled two buses and the county next to us has filled four.
I owned a business there from 1981 until 2007. The tax was added to the property tax bill every six months. It was started as part of the Chesapeake Bay Act to protect the water quality. All storm runoff, according to the Bay Act should be treated at waste water plants to prevent gasoline, diesel, antifreeze drippings and other contaminants from entering the bay.
All money collected was to be used to upgrade and route storm water to treatment plants.
