Re: Good Idea
said by Ed_Gee : "Let's see Portland pop 568,380 cost $894,000 or $1.57 per person. Yeah REAL hard to come up with $1.57 from the population." Infants, children, and a sizable portion of the adult population in general do not pay taxes. The cost per taxpayer would be notably higher... and even in the Liberal Portland area, voters are not keene on implementing more taxes. 
$6.28 for a family of 4. What's that, 2 lattes at Starbucks? I bet many people spend more than that on ciagarettes everyday in Portland. You keep coming up with lame excuses. |

said by pnh102  :$894K is a lot of money and unlike the Feds, state and local governments cannot simply print money. It is just best for the City of Portland to let this thing die before any more tax money is spent on it. Let's see Portland pop 568,380 cost $894,000 or $1.57 per person. Yeah REAL hard to come up with $1.57 from the population. |
