Public Hearing - Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007. 7:00PM. Dean St. School.
Although the Public Notice appeared in the Woodstock Independent on November 28, I missed it. Guess my eyes had misted over at the announced property tax increase proposed (and subsequently passed) by the City of Woodstock. The proposed property tax levy increase is 25.62%.
TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT.
Folks, if you don't turn out for this public hearing and demand to know why such an increase is sought, apathy will be spelled on Wednesday morning as APATHY.
The daily and weekly newspaper must derive significant revenues from these box ads. Why aren't they writing any stories about the huge increases being sought?
Last week three (3) property owners showed up at the Woodstock City Council meeting.
Be at Dean Street School Tuesday night. Bring five neighbors. Tell them to call and invite five more. And tell them to call five more. Get on the phone now and make those calls. Sure, it's short notice. So what? If gasoline were on sale at the Clark station, you'd call everybody you know - right after you filled up.

Apathy is bitching about your community tax and not paying it. It is criminal. This is why home owners use to be the only ones to vote; they were the ones paying for everything.
Do you own or rent Gus? Let us know what you pay into this system that you hate so much.
Gus doesn't hate the system. He's just not allowed to play. He can't get onto any board or commision so he tries to make waves. He's like the kid that would call you a name as he rode away from you on his bike. Why did he erase the comments about him liking it in the poop schute?
