I don't think she should use the word "outweigh"

Surely it can be cleaned up some, but they are not terrible with their 16mil budget... BREC gets a 116 million and it is not ran properly, I bet BREC wastes more than the COAs whole budget

vote. don’t vote.

I’ll vote. I early vote all the time. I’m just being sarcastic because of the way this vote for taxes fell out a few weeks after a major election coincidentally.

BREC just got overhauled from the top down. I'm willing to give the new director and board of supervisors some time to try and straighten it out.

It does because the vote is not limited to property owners.

no vote is limited to property owners. The reason this stuff passes is that only the supporters bother to vote. All it takes in a low turnout election like this is a few dozen busses and a box of tshirts to tip the scale. Go vote

if wishes were fishes we’d all cast nets. Here in the real world if you want to be part of the decision making you have to go vote. The supporters of the tax have a vested interest in it passing, and you have a vested interest in it not passing. You may be surprised to learn that every vote counts as one

quit whining and go vote

My In-laws started receiving meals once. They never requested them. Somedays it was just a gallon of milk. The next day it could be 6 premade meals. Then nothing for two weeks. Then 2 gallons of milk.

They called to get more information and ask if this was how it worked and why it was so haphazard. They never received another meal.
