The planned closure of city libraries is the start of the tax increase campaign. Notice that no projects that impact developers were cut — downtown redevelopment, new downtown library, bridge to bay, et cetera. The cuts always involve services which directly impact the public. We taxpayers need a plan of action. For example, we need a promise to contribute to a recall for each elected public official who is involved in putting a tax increase on the ballot so the city can continue to pay for gold-plated pensions and health care for city retirees and continue to spend millions annually on city projects to support developers.
