Typo...it's at 7pm MST...
I'll settle in with a few cold ones :)
Too little has been made of the tuition tax credit, initiated under Bush and doubled under Obama. Romney would get rid of it, to pay for a massive tax cut for the rich on the theory that they will create jobs. Obama would keep it. For those with kids in college, it would amount to a tax increase of $2500 per kid in college, per year, if Romney is elected. That's a big tax hike for a family with kids in college.
So would a Utahn vote himself a large tax increase just to have a Mormon president? I'm guessing, yes. It's baffling.
OT: I am beyond PO'ed... A 7-11 is now the gateway to Ogden's Riverbend development and downtown area?!!! AND we the fine taxpayers of O'town are giving the Developer (AKA hot tubbers Inc.") a hundred grand to do it! What the &%$#??? The only one on the council that got it right was Amy Wicks... "
“I have a real hard time giving somebody $100,000 to develop a 7-Eleven when we have somebody else just down the road, who on their own dime, demolished a building and built a convenience store,” she said. “I can’t support putting the funds toward a development that ultimately ends up with just a convenience store on the corner.”
Man if this isn't cronyism I don't know what is! So, we dish out $100k and get back $96k (supposedly) in the proposed budget and Brandon says it's essentially free to the city...since when is $4k free?
It will be interesting to see where on the property the 7-11 actually goes...on the corner....in the middle on Washington?....there is more to this than meets the eye because that 7-11 isn't going to take up that whole site.
Can't wait to see the 50 temporary construction jobs created by the demolition of the existing buildings and construction of a 7-11....the place should just be crawling with activity....
Excuse me while I go barf....
Improved dialogue... Pretty funny?!?!?
