LI towns plan resolutions opposing MTA 'mobility tax' -- Newsday.com (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/suffolk/ny-liprot0412513127mar04,0,2504252.story - broken link)
I guess EVERYONE is happy about this..Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ?
"But opponents, including Brookhaven Councilman Keith Romaine, fear the payroll tax could shutter businesses, a cost that would be passed on to residents in the form of higher property taxes. Romaine and other officials also said they are concerned that town and school districts would have to pay the tax on their payrolls."
Either way, you KNOW, you are going to "pay" in some way, don't you ?
In point of fact, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE GOING TO BE, ANYWAY AND IN ADDITION TO this mobility tax...service cuts, and fare hikes, and yes, People Standing on the Roofs !
