Measure A in Long Beach.  Go from the temporary (wink wink) to permanent tax

https://lbpost.com/news/city/long-beach-plans-to-ask-voters-for-permanent-extension-of-measure-a-sales-tax

Measure L in Lakewood, called the "The Lakewood Public Safety/Local Control Measure" (insert vigorous wanking motion here)

https://www.lakewoodcity.org/council/measure_l.asp

 

And, since they can't always soak you on the sales tax, there is always the property tax.

Yeah, I had this in the Lol Angeles thread in the politics forum.

Oddly, in LA, I don't get to vote on measure FD.  I guess LA isn't considered LA County anymore.  So you guys will have to vote harder and say no to that increase.

Not once in my entire life have I ever actually seen a fireman fighting a fire.

Oh trust me, LA City fire isn't standing around while everyone else gets their pockets picked.

I remember this.  I believe there was even a thread about it on the old board.

as soon as they purposely add in "and it's for our children", that makes far too many people ignore what they're really trying to do.

I think they use your safety and lives depend on it.

Someone needs to post the pic of the "firefighter ice machine" fundraiser.

Seriously?

[Lou]

Damnit!

[yk9001]

I announce that from here on in, a post asking for something already posted will now be known as a "Taylor"

[Lou]

I agree.

They have no shame and might as well start asking citizens whether or not they contribute to fire fighter before deciding whether or not to put out someone's house fire.  

[yk9001]

Well, I think there is a distinction:

A "Craig" is when you repeat something previously posted.

 

A "Taylor" is more nuanced, and will be much more rare - when a poster *asks* for something just posted.

[Lou]

I like it. We'll go with that.

Yeah, his "Craig" was extra egregious

I'm OK with that.
