The Mynderse - Nozzolio Library is looking to increase taxes collected this year with a 40% increase to us - the taxpayers.

I don't know how many times we pay for this Library, County Tax, Town Tax, and Special School Tax.

Looks like the Bookworm Board has gone looney.

Have you ever considered fleeing SF?

You just named a number of taxes that have nothing to do with the library. What's your point?

Actually, I believe that the town, county and school all make payments to the library. Those payments come out of taxpayer funds. Therefore at least part of those taxes he named do go to the library.

According to their annual report, 40% of their income comes from the school district, 12% from the town and 3% from the county. Sounds like taxes to me.

Yeah, they were able to batten onto my neck, even though I lived in Fayette, chiefly through school tax. I remember when that started, too. It wasn't all that many years ago...maybe around the time the new palace was built.

No more, though...I've escaped SFCSD, and SC. \:\)

You may escape the county, VM, but unlikely you will escape the insanity in this country. \:D

Hell with the computer taking over who needs the Library.
Turn the Library into the Town office instead.

They are getting cutoff from funds and that is why they are now short.

Go ahead and close it down. Half of you would stop posting since you go there to sign on.

Lets stop doing good things and just be a bunch of idiots. There's a plan! We can hate the dump, not know how to run the town, heck we hated the village anyway, and buy our cigs at the rez. No fracking, no landfill, no indians, no cops, no village. We are the place that isn't.

Shut it down. Education doesn't seem to be working here.

We should just volunteer ourselves to the next North Korea test ground. Please forward our co-ordinates to the leader.

That's right, shut it down! We don't need no books or lernin'! Public libraries are part of the socialist agenda to edumicate our peoples -- and edumicated peoples don't vote the right way.

Well, there's always Ecuador, whose President is on record as having said that the US could keep its base in Manta, if Ecuador could have one in Miami... \:\)

I looked at Panama, and it's nice, but I rejected it as a possible bolt hole because it's too much of a US lackey, and because it's starting to forget the policies, free economy and free trade, mostly, that improved its economy so much, such as having actual bank secrecy so that the citizen could keep his private affairs unknown to a snooping, tax-hungry state, and is adopting a US-style tax, borrow, and spend regime.

Most of the world's people get it, with the exception of most USAians.

Of course it is. It is a question by someone who maybe never used a library.

If that is so, then the case for the worth of libraries clearly makes itself.
