Seattle is looking to dip farther into your wallets with a new tax package.

This package features: a 34% increase in property taxes, $25 dollar a head worker tax, and 10% commercial parking "surcharge."

They claim it is for 20 years, we all know how once a revenue stream is tapped getting government weaned off that source is near to impossible. There is no sunset clause in the package, so let's be honest; call it permanent. Only have vague "infrastructure" and transportation plans for the money, no project specifics (maybe Nickels needs a new Denali).

But hey! On that affordable middle class family home valued at $400,000 it only comes to a Mocha a week ($150 a year).

Times like this I am glad I don't live in Seattle, but then again Shoreline will have to keep up.

So much for family friendly and affordable Seattle. The Seattle elites are declaring the rabble need no longer apply to live among them.

My only question is how much longer is the Population of Seattle going to put up with business as usual. It is obvious the City Council learned nothing from the Nonorail, but are the citizens up to teaching them in November?
