That being said, as a resident of Bethlehem, I become more and more frustrated with each passing day that despite the fact, as stated by our politicians, that the revenue gained by the Bethlehem Sands was going to lower taxes for residents. Now as a sound adult, I didn't expect my taxes to go down, but I certainly didn't expect to skyrocket either! In the year 2011 my county taxes will go up by 16.1% and my city taxes now are expected to go up by .75 mills. Also, look at the atrocity that has already been posted in regards to the school system. As a resident I ask, WHERE IS THE CASINO REVENUE, WHERE ARE THE PROMISES YOU MADE. I am sick and tired of paying higher taxes without making a higher wage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-58087939785873546712011-01-19T15:28:32.561-05:002011-01-19T15:28:32.561-05:00"NEW TONE?

Something to consider:
Bethlehem passed...Bernie -<br /><br />Something to consider:<br /><br />Bethlehem passed 48 new ordinances, PA surely passed even more new laws than that and the Federal government surely passed still more. All in a year's time.<br /><br />Some, I'm sure were needed. Many others, I'm sure, were not. <br /><br />Realizing this and looking at the sheer number of new laws passed - IN JUST ONE YEAR, affecting all aspects of people's lives - I hope you can understand why so many feel there is too much government, and why we need to get back to the limited-government principles that this country was founded on.Patrick McHenrynoreply@blogger.com
