Now is time to reduce spending. |
I was talking about the taxes with one of the commissioners. He told me that he did not agree with Linda that we could lower the taxes.... He said that the pensions for government employees were going to leave them $11 million in the hole. Then he preceded to tell me that there is a tax credit available that everyone could take advantage of....
Isn't that tax credit only available to those who make less than $50,000 a year?
And who do you know that is making under $50,000 a year who can afford a house in Calvert County?
By the way I saw Mr Hu yesterday... He remembers us from the HFAC rally. He also remembered that the only elected official there was Sue Kullem and he remembers those two other candidates that are boasting that they support HFAC were never at the rally....
