Report Inappropriate Comments

Dear reader,

The tax increases that CrickeeRaven refers to were implemented years ago by Mayor Avedisian. No one can stop that. What I was referring to was the 29 attempts Mayor Avedisian made during the spring of 2017 budget hearings. Each attempt was UNANIMOUSLY shot down by a City Council who heard a clear message from their constituents to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending".

Now, I don't think CrickeeRaven is so stupid that he/she doesn't realize that. After all, I clearly explained it in my first comment. I believe that CrickeeRaven is just trying (again) to con the reader. He/she calls me a "fake" mayor as if I ever said I was the real one. As the readers know, I never have. (another attempt to con you). I proudly refer to myself as "The Taxpayers Mayor" because I am devoted to the 80,000 taxpayers that are paying the tab. There is nothing fake about that. There is nothing fake about me. CrickeeRaven, on the other hand, doesn't have the courage to even use a real name.

To anyone who refuses to credit my efforts I have 4 questions;

1. Have I ever run for any office before? Answer..."No."

2. Did the Mayor raise taxes EVERY YEAR FOR 17 YEARS IN A ROW? Answer..."Yes."

3. Did I campaign for over 700 days in a row with the slogan "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending"? Answer..."Yes."

4. Was the Mayor denied 29 attempts to raise taxes in the 2017 budget process? Answer..."Yes."

Maybe it was just a massive coincidence. OR! Maybe all my campaigning caused those 29 TAX INCREASE ATTEMPTS TO FAIL.

The reader will decide, and 2018 is right around the corner!

Happy Halloween CrickeeRaven.

Happy Halloween everyone.
