0.2(in Wenatchee only) goes toward Town Toyota Center costs

Costs that include 1.5 million in attorney fees - Please report the true picture, not the watered down version to try and get the public's support.

I'm proud to be paying taxes - the only thing is - I could be just as proud for half the money. If politicians brains were taxed, they would receive a rebate.

Take a look at your tax bills and you'll quit calling them "cheap politicians."

What happened to the .4% that the state allowed to stay here collected in the PFD district boundaries?

Don't you just love our screwed up Legislature?Stick us with the TTC tab,$35.00 for access to land we already bought(Discover Pass) and own,another $20 for new licence plates we don't need,$4.00 Stripe tax for the roads, and I can go on all day.If you wonder why many people don't support this piece of *&^%, look at the entire picture.We are just plain tired of the State using us for fall guys while they keep spending like drunk sailors.
