Council passes Sales Tax increase



Guess I'll be making sure I don't shop at any of the Birmingham stores any more. I predict with the business license increase you'll also see business revenue dry up as well too.

What a bunch of idiots...

this infuriates me to an all time high.  when will this MMM..i am not going to say it,  get it through his head.  GET RID OF THE CRIME and birmingham will slowly get back on the right track.  the police are the lowest paid at of all the local areas.  i would not won't to be a cop in bham.  i will not even so much as buy a coke anywhere in bham now.  how long before he petitions for all the outlying areas(trussville, vestavia, mountain brook...etc) for money for this idiotic idea...or the county for that matter. then they raise our taxes.  i regret ever moving to jefferson county.  wonder where he has in mind of putting a dome stadium.  what will happen to legion field?

Who cares. The point is, you owe it to them.

Sure glad I moved from Jeff. County to Blount County in May

Now I just read and laugh

So ya'll know, I am not originally from here, but I thought enough of this area/state to relocate my family here and I made the BEST decision.  Alabama is just about the best place to be in the whole world.  I am NOT going to slam Alaman, or anyone for moving, because we all have reasons for what we do and he obviously cares, or he wouldn't post, but I would like to say that the actions of TX are what we need to show people here.  

I will further state that I am a racist, I hate a$$&*!!@s!  People just need to to be shown what is right.  What is right is that people get to live the way they want and that we do NOT have to pay for the mistakes/desires of others.  How to fix it?  Keeping our rights/guns is a good start!  Thanks for listening, but I think a lot about this area and the people.

I do NOT have to risk my life 'easily' anymore, but I do it for those and the state that I truly care about and for where I live.  Thank God for Alabama and the type of people that live here, seriously.  Thanks to all of you that have welcomed my family and myself here.  Just go to the Huntsville Resr Area and read the stone, "WE DARE TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS".

Crazy Larry raised the tax in Fairfield(where he lives).  This made it harder on the businesses in Fairfield.  Now 2/3's of the businesses on Fairfield have closed down.

He then raised in in Jefferson county after the people said no.  Most of this money goes to the BJCC.  Business slowed down, but did not stop, although I have noticed a definite increase in the number of businesses going out of business.

Now he is raising it in Birmingham.  Guess what the result will be.  Although there is not much left in Birmingham, my guess is that about 1/3rd of the small businesses will leave.

Hopefully the feds get him on the bond swaps
