]]> Comment on Resolution to be Considered at January Meeting by citizen http://www.37dems.org/index.php/2010/01/04/resolution-to-be-considered-at-january-meeting/comment-page-1/#comment-546 citizen Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:51:22 +0000 http://www.37dems.org/?p=702#comment-546 Nice to see a resolution posted as this is good so people can think about it for later discussion. I disagree with the state income tax unless we are willing to end the federal income tax (do we need to be spending all this money in Iraq and Afganastan when we havn't even formally declared a war?????). Getting back to the resolution, the 46th Democrat Chair stated recently at a public meeting that we need to get back to "the meaning of what it is to be a citizen"; this I agree. A good citizen needs to understand that reaching out and doing what he/she can to help others is the best way to try to solve our social problems; in communities, we understand each other better than an agency at best does. But many of us have not been good citizens lately in regards to trying to help others (not us here on this site of course since we are active), thus we have left it up to agencies to care for the problems of our youth and broken families (agencies that cost money to run). Also, we have left it up to agencies to protect corporations instead of make them responsible for the problems they cause, like global warming and taxing them for pollution instead of just having them plain stop. I also don't understand why the federal government wants Washington to expand programs (such as unemployment benefits) but not expand jobs (for all, not just the transportation sector)? Why did we vote for the governor anyhow, wasn't she promising no new taxes? Everyone knew the housing crisis would happen and this would not create enough revenue (as there is an excise tax from the sale of property-that is really going to drop once May hits). The budget should have been adjusted three years ago when we saw a decline in real estate markets in other parts of the country plus the continued oursourcing of jobs. Money has been going out of the local and state economies for years and for a governor having sat in a position as she has for awhile, she obviously knew this and now is telling us it is do or die time. I don't buy it and if you know anything about real estate, then you wouldn't go for this either. Nice to see a resolution posted as this is good so people can think about it for later discussion.

As Seattle grows, investing in parks, trails, open space, and play area become increasingly important. As the economy turns sour, we'll be turning to our local parks as places to recreate, relax, and connect with our neighbors. Vote Yes on Seattle Prop 2!
