Steve Homan’s expose about the county supervisors changing the allocation of already approved tax revenues to choke our fire protection, then seek a new tax increase, is pure politics (“Supervisors’ decision shortchanges rural fire protection,” Commentary, April 9).
Homan said they have hijacked our money, screamed poor and are now threatening to close some fire stations up here if we don’t approve more taxes! Quietly redirecting $15 million from Proposition 172 away from where it was intended is grounds to vote them all out. No wonder there is a national movement against more taxes.
The supervisors should know that the TEA Party is alive and watching them in Santa Cruz County. We’re “Taxed Enough Already.”

I consider myself a liberal Democrat, and I am not a TeaBag anti-tax protester. I am not opposed to taxes per se; rather, I am opposed to the County Supervisors lying and obfuscating with respect to tax matters.
I believe in truth in government, but I am not anti-tax. Thanks. .
How about this instead - county supervisors mishandling of tax revenue is corrupt irrespective of party affiliation.

Enough of generalizations demeaning liberals, and centrists as socialist. We want our country back. The one that prosecutes fraud. Not one that rewards criminals.
