Taxes and Smart Growth

I think it is incredible that they want to hold off on reviewing the impact fees until AFTER we vote on a sales tax.  If the sales tax passes than they will likely lower the impact fees for development.  That is CRAZY!!  Guess why they want to lower the impact fees?  All the big developers contribute to political campaigns ( including MR Conkey he was backed by a lot of big developers).. The developers don't donate money to campaigns unless they expect something in return.  So watch what happens.  If the sales tax passes they will shift the burden to us (even though we already pay the impact fee when we buy our new homes they add it into the cost of the home), and we pay real estate taxes, and now they want to increase the SALES tax.. Garbage!!!  They need to drive more commercial growth in Clay County to support the growing population.  A lot of shopping is done outside of CLAY county resulting in lost tax revenue.  We need smart leaders with a good growth MANAGEMENT plan..  Last week I read that a Jim Wilson or Jim Smith said the school board had no place in their growth management meeting.  The school board is suffering with tremendous growing pains because there has NOT been smart growth management.  They rubber stamp every developers plan.  The builders and developers have had RECORD profits for the last few years and none of them help to build the schools.  This has got to stop!  WE have to get smart and manage the growth or it will manage us!
