soon to gain has said he would endorse a candidate soon the much coveted it's difficult to imagine him giving order morning of his time here today and then indoors and someone else three weeks he has said he would endorse a very soon and his endorsement is much coveted it's difficult to imagine him giving orders several hours of his time here this morning north and someone else who eats cain said he would
endorse a candidate soon and his endorsement is much coveted it's difficult to imagine him getting poorer several hours of his time here this morning and turning on imports and someone else two weeks from now cain has said he would endorse a candidate soon and his endorsement is much coveted it's difficult to imagine him giving orders several hours of his time here this morning then turning around and endorsing someone else two weeks from now but sources in the republican party won it's not to make too much of a game order ever for five year this morning both say it's a significant thank you and he'd also seen elizabeth steps will you carry for us calling on you in short order to stop obstructing the pre tax relief plan through elizabeth music and that's what we're going to do it
are you do you agree it's bustling with fifty you would hardly leave or an interview you're just you have come on board were few instances where i have my own property tax rebate plan which is to give back to municipalities the money that's too i'm going to them there's about two billion dollars that is owed to the cities and the towns of this state as postman a demanding ransom and made programs over the last seven years that does not pay and that's resulted in a hundred and twenty two percent increase in local property taxes and those who are responsible for state government alaska are really should be doing some soul
searching and trying to find out how that money gets skimmed off and how it is we can put that money back into the hands of the mayors and the other people in charge of looking at these so as to make sure that were not into laying off people from lighting vital services or increasing of property taxes you will join puerto rican well my position is that i dont think this crisis should ever occurred in the first place if i get the opportunity to be in charge of this state work in reverse those policies which have been taking money out of the hands in out of the pockets of local property taxpayers sending in order to a fairly loaded on and responses the bureaucracy i'm struck by in the last few days is reading about these people who watched thirty two million dollars then somebody and fired because he was in charge and somebody on top been promoted to the federal government to go through in washington what they've not been able to do here which is give us a good management arm i
think we are find out what it is that is happening little money that doesn't appear to be available for local property tax relief for caucuses the people's wives it's a fear of state right now he's urging the governor to really some money through fire these people back and that has been the victim of fabric that's really the only way to get money to elizabeth to rehire abuse prof thurman solve this crisis and to salva cruz will affect someone's merging the government turned loose money this money somewhere and perhaps it should be turned roads and it's just ironic that the same time that these are the proposals being talked about i had a conversation with mayor frank waves of person who tells me that he's losing it additional million dollars because a bank tax on that is probably going to the misspellings has just been in the process of being appealed to the tune of eighteen million more dollars suppose your town's probably will not vote for towns as a result of some things were happening in washington right now are
other and tapping and trying right now that this proposal is not to address so the same nonsense talk about going in raising more money to deal with this crisis money that's already supposedly going to the town's is continuing to be skimmed off so we have been referred for governorships of the earth well you will have it that we have a flurry of them showed a reversal of what it is that we've seen over the last number of years and every tax conceivable having been raised six billion dollars more in revenues going for slate and two billion dollars being skimmed off mexico's of gauntlet towns leaving them with what joyce is increasing property taxes or decreasing services those are not positions of local mayors should be in the nation on the face saying the meantime he wouldn't embrace of the democrats in the assembly would feel comfortable voting for what i'm telling you is i think what we have to do is to examine where all the money
is supposed to have gone to those communities last year we allegedly had a one billion dollar surplus now we're projecting a six hundred and fifty million dollar deficit i think most people are asking for an accounting before they start talking about a whole lot of new revenues being given to those decision makers in trenton more interested in hustling about in ways that have not worked or the interest of local property taxpayers there's so many it's
been generally supportive of this is bob's band it's been fb
