Property values are down 15-25% in the region , yet property taxes are going up. This is yet another example of Government which is supposed to be "of the people and for the people", really only being out for itself, and more specifically out for the bureaucrats that work in it. Do they really think the majority of society believes they have "our best interests at heart" ? Any thinking person, of course, realizes their interests lie in preserving their Golden Parachutes which include full benefits for life, 80% pensions etc...This is ,of course, ignoring the fact these people are overpaid by at least 30% in Lane County. Perhaps the most insulting aspect is when they try to placate us by saying things like "we are not taking pay increases this year", to which my response is , "Great, neither are any of the other 70,000 unemployed workers in Lane County".
This injustice and ruling class mentality has to stop ! We need to inform these people the Gravy Train needs to come to an end, sooner rather than later.
