CRAZY HORSE,

Yes, it has been almost 10 years. 10 years of people like you and me paying our sales tax without seeing the promised results.

10 years ago I did not vote for the sales tax, because WND was ill-concieved and I had a feeling it would be mis-managed. (which it has)

Ill-concieved in the fact that the tax exsists without a sunset. (It will never expire!) Ill-concieved in the fact that it took away from the city and county a .5% sales tax that was used to improve and repair our streets. (No more sales tax for street and road improvement!) Ill-concieved in the fact no guidelines were laid out for a time frame for projects. Ill-concieved in that the four original projects were so vague that the city and county could do whatever they wanted with the money. (like give it to their friends; mis-management)

olt timer,

Your idea is a good one. I like the concept!
