The mayor of Houston and the City of Houston, which is currently running a deficit, far from the large amounts charged wasteful expenditure, is currently pushing for a new drainage fee "in order to solve the problems of flooding throughout the city of Houston . This action will be second in voting this November.
Opponents are discovering that the mayor was unable to hold free - paid for by new taxes - such as churches, schools and other organizations. The effectswhich has no tax funds are taxed, it becomes a question of ethics, on behalf of the authors of Proposition 1
Other critics of the mayor's plan also noted that it set no limit to the amount of the fee and there is no expiration date in place so that voters, the measure must be extended if the City Council wants to continue spending. Consequently, the measure indefinitely, without limitation, property tax, so that the last movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps callsa "moral hazard": if these problems or to invest the money is not the person responsible for the collection and burdened by mistakes or invested is wasted.
naysayers also note that since the current City Council was unable to maintain a balanced budget, but continue to increase the deficit and the debt of the city at the highest levels, it is questionable why the taxpayer should the Council and mayor of the city to have confidence to use these resources in a competent manner. Since it seemsno position clear dividing line are the critics fear that poor management by the Council and Mayor of the city, the fees may result in increases in the future.
Finally, critics of Proposition 1, also accuses the city council, following the example of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, published 2010, changes in treatment are the figures of the law on health care reform. Opponents of Proposition 1 are concerned that the result of false declarations by the Council adopted the city will be similar to thatappears instead of health legislation: a significant deficit leads to pay too drastic cuts in other areas or the need for significant tax increases in future for such fraudulent practices. They note that with the end of the current federal tax cuts of Bush on the track, this may be an additional potential tax liabilities that could be "the needle that breaks the camel."
In a year when the Tea Party is increasingly a dominant position innational scene, remember that it is important that the Council and the mayor has failed, a second option that the ability of individual districts and homeowners associations throughout the city the chance to take care of flooding problems on their own grants . Instead, they have their critics another example of tax and spend policies that conservatives so often accused of being supplied as a loving liberals base their policy decisions.
