He has a letter to the editor in today's Advocate.

He conveniently leaves out of his letter that BREC has a stash of over $81 million currently sitting in its bank accounts.

BREC has more in its bank accounts than it spent in all of 2013.

BREC's 2013 Annual Report

Please vote today. Kip needs the money.

But...but...but....but...

Parks and libraries and education and public transportation and arts and tourist attractions and puppies and kittens are all good things, so we should always vote to pass every tax dedicated to those things, shouldn't we?

That's what I've been taught by our leaders and media. Do you mean there's something else we're missing? (Like millions already squandered and millions more in the bank? - impossible!)

I reuse to vote or any tax increases while he is still mayor. He has put far too many on ballots during his tenure and the only one that made any sense was for bridge and road repairs in the region, but it covered a shite load of other crap in the proposal. BREC has its slush fund and the "library" board is spending 19 million to build a new downtown branch rather than renovating the present facility and that is on the heels of the 150 million on the new facility off Goodwood.

Is there any chance at all that this tax will not get renewed?

I haven't been following all this. Is this just for BREC funding or does the Kipper want to do his downtown plans again with a zoo and whatnot?

Why do you hate the outdoors?
When will the racist Republican War on outdoor activities end?

Does Kip decide how BREC spends their money?
