ONE OF THE GREATEST LIES!

         Recently, the Des Moines Register has been beating the drums on a local increase in the sales tax. All they seem to print are the advantages of such an increase and that surveys show that the "Majority" are in favor.

        At my age and lifetime I have seen these increases many times. At first it was only 1 cent, then 2 cents, and on and on. The one I always love and have to laugh is when they say that the sales tax increase will "lower"  property taxes. The only way property taxes get reduced is if you actually go in at the time you can protest and are lucky enough to get them lowered! Up Up and Away!
