The proposed investment property tax for public education would affect a lot of big-money interests. We can expect to see many expensive full-page newspaper ads and television commercials, from “independent” sources and political action committees, claiming to be working in the public interest to try to influence your vote. There is a lot of money at stake here.
I encourage you to look carefully at the source of these ads, and be careful to fact-check them.
Are these organizations, paying all this money for those ads, really concerned about you? Are they paying this ad money for your benefit, or are they only trying to influence your vote on behalf of their big-money clients?
Please be careful, and be sure to vote in your own best interest, and in the interest of your family, friends and neighbors.
Money talks, but in the end, only your vote counts.
