No shit...how dare her do things to try and help her constituents whom were displaced by the moves of DOGE and Trump's EO.

I can see why you would hate that.

I can understand the federal cuts ....

But, what am I missing about the State stepping up?

The state is stepping up to help those affected by the Fed cuts...and for some odd reason that is Communism...he is in your cult, you figure it out and let the rest of us know.

How about you give them a chance to clarify ....

It's not the state, it's the county. She just rammed through a 36% increase in our property taxes. And this is what she is spending it on. If she really wants to help the unemployed become employed (which she does not) - she should lower taxes and abandon her anti-business agenda.

So ... isn't property tax a state tax?

No - it's a county tax. The dems around here do everything they can to make businesses unprofitable, and then want the taxpayers to fund "job training" programs for jobs that do not exist.

So where does the money actually go ?

Good for her. This is the way that things pertaining to the community should work. On a local level and with the cooperation of citizens.

I didn't actually "cooperate" in the 36% tax increase...

Welfare

I get it. But at least this is something that is being kept at a local level. Sure, not everyone is going to agree, but I prefer it to federal government largesse.

Granted, if I were there, she would not get my vote next election cycle. But I do think that this is how local affairs should be handled.

Welfare

So a wealth redistribution scheme ...

Socialism at it's best. That's what's Democrats do.

However, it doesn't appear that there is a lot of poverty in that area.

There's some, but rest assured, she will find plenty of people worthy of "other people's money."

Oh I'm sure ...

The question is are those people illegals or people who contributed to her political career.

Do you live in Allegheny County? Do you know who sets your real estate tax rate? Do you know where your real estate taxes go?

 

[middleview]

No - it's a county tax. The dems around here do everything they can to make businesses unprofitable, and then want the taxpayers to fund "job training" programs for jobs that do not exist.

The unemployment rate in Allegheny county is 3.4%.

 

[Raoul_Luke]

The unemployment rate in Allegheny county is 3.4%.

And I bet you it will be the same (or higher) a year from now.

 

[Raoul_Luke]

Yes, but I'm sure you think you know more about that from your perch in Denver than I do living here...
