In case you haven't seen it, Judge Griffen was interviewed by our pro tax increases Arkansas Business. He has a number of salient points that our group have been trying to get city hall to listen to for a long time. Problem, it is like talking to a door or a rock but..."no one is home and no one is listening", one point in particular...
* An about-face on the economic impact of western expansion into the Chenal Valley area. The annexation of sparsely populated land "was supposed to pay for itself" without the imposition of the sort of "impact fees" that many other jurisdictions levy on new development. "Now we're told we need to tax ourselves to pay for the growth," Griffen said. "To ask the question trial lawyers ask: Were you lying then or are you lying now?"
Do not expect any substantive answer to come from the Pro..."$todola Mega Tax increase" crowd.....
