Just more threatening "Doom and Gloom" misinformation

So here we go......daily mailing from LR city hall and their cohorts (in this case the LRFOP) about how the "World is going to end" if we do not vote for this "Mega Tax" proposal, an example is shown below.....
One thing they show on the other side of this mailing is that it is from the "Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police" (they really would prefer you think it comes from LRCH tax promoters, the Markham Group) and that they are an organization whose expressed function is to promote the singular interest of their public safety officer members, as shown in the next image.....

Here is an IMPORTANT omission from their "Doom and Gloom" THREATENING mailer....

their members work FOR (are employees of) the city and this organization DOES NOT determine city policy or PUBLIC SAFETY STAFFING LEVELS OR SUPPORT FUNDING LEVELS! Thus they have no authorization to say what the future police department staffing levels or support funding levels will be if this tax does not pass.

(The mayor has been quoted as saying they "MAY" have to "start" letting "some" of the stimulus positions go...NOT ALL OF THEM!!!! And on and on with this group's fear mongering!!!)

It appears this group is more frightened of THEIR future and NOT for ours (when it comes to sales taxes paid)!

And finally the worst part...it fails to recognize that the Little Rock residents want to do all this, for our police,....they just do not want it to be used as HOSTAGE to bribe us to also pay for a bunch of baubles and toys for the BIG Chicago Realtors and Developers that want to run Little Rock City Hall!!

    Chamber of Commerce is calling for a "Early Vote PRO 1 cent Sales Tax" Rally
    We ask you to make a sign Against Any New Tax and stand across from them.

    No shouting, No Chanting.....just to have our presence in opposition to a new tax!!!
