More bed tax questions

First, I want to thank the Maryville Forum for allowing opposing viewpoints to be put in your Letter to the Editor. I want to thank Larry Job for eloquently voicing the truth and asking very pertinent questions about the latest Democratic Party – City Council agenda of spending money and the continuing love affair with Dr. Jasinski (NWMSU). Most working and retired Americans are being taxed at a rate of 50%+ when you combine all local taxes and up to and through federal taxes. So when the Council can’t or they don’t ask you for more taxes, they go after our businesses. Bed Tax– you won’t have to personally pay for it! You will when they put those Hotels out of business. Everyone needs to ask one question – When did cities start paying for state run universities? When I see any government entity making such ridiculous judgments as this, I want to ask them if they are aware, in any way, of how our economy is standing at this time. Maryville is not autonomous, the surrounding cities, states and countries affect ours. Stop with the spending money agendas and try something new – balance the budget.
