The ‘Real Reason’ Poops is mad at the Legislature
l3wis Many in city government and those who work with the administration are very confused as to why Paul is lashing out at the legislature over the property tax cut. First off, the obvious, it doesn’t affect him or the 2026 budget. The law isn’t implemented until 2027, and since the 2026 budget is his last, he could have just done the same as usual without any cuts. During the budget address, he made this tired old, and quite strange argument; Growth for Growth sakes. I would argue since 2008 (the last recession) growth has actually hurt us more then benefited. We have given millions away in property tax rebates and TIF’s, our streets are worse then they have ever been. Anytime we have a natural disaster, it is usually very expensive to clean up. We only plow the roads when we feel like it (OVER 100 ACCIDENTS IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THE CITY DIDN’T SEND OUT ICERS). Growth before 2008 was fantastic, since then it has only drained resources and jacked up our rents. Growth for Growth sakes is a shallow argument, and I think Poops knows it, but he has to show some cards to disguise why he is really pissed at our legislature; They killed his 3rd penny tax. He knows that the new Convention Center, his dream project, can’t be bonded without that tax, and when they killed it in committee I bet you he punched a hole in city hall’s wall. This is why he is livid, he could care less if the library hours are cut, etc., etc., he’s pissed because you killed his cockamamie idea. Paul, why don’t you just go to your office, stare at your countdown clock, and STFU! You are NOT helping Pouting Poops.
Heels pulled all the stops, besides having the entire board of directors from the Chamber there in support, she had many current and former local politicians there, including Greg Neitzert (I am going to assume he will be assisting the campaign in one way or another, or maybe considering an At-Large run for council? I wondered why I haven’t gotten any short story texts from him in awhile? As for Christine herself, she looked like she hit the salon and the spa right after the gym, damn, she looked good! Pay attention future candidates! Hit the gym NOW! If Christine does become mayor, she will make many precedents; First female mayor, First city councilor to be elected mayor, and first Single mayor? Though she staged some engagement
