Taxpayers getting robbed once again

Once again, Skip Alston and his fellow commissioners passed a budget that falls squarely on the backs of those who are just making ends meet. What amazes me is that he keeps getting elected even though he is hurting the people who voted for him.

Those who voted for Skip need to start looking in their wallets and realize each year you are being legally robbed by this man and the rest of his fellow commissioners. The problem is that they always vote for tax increases to balance the budget instead of making the tough decisions.

Now is a good time to get a part-time job in addition to the one you have, because next year your taxes are going up again. Thanks, Skip, for your great leadership -- tax and keep on spending.

Skips # 1 Priority is the NAACP.

Being a County Commissioner is just an avenue for him to extort money from the honest taxpayers of Guilford County.

Now that he has Bruce Davis as his "in house hand puppet" running the board of commissioners, Skip has much more time to think of ways to rob all of us of public funds.

ALL TAXPAYERS, BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, ASIAN, ETC.....Lose, when our government is run by a group of BANDITS.

Next election day, vote for RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.
