One of my readers was nice enough to send this to me. It is a campaign sign for Republican supervisor candidates in Easttown has been driving me crazy since they started to go up.
Why has it been driving me crazy?
Simple. There is NO EIT IN EASTTOWN TOWNSHIP! EIT was discussed and my memory recall said it was withdrawn. So I asked a couple of Easttown meeting watchdogs and this was the response I got:
Yes. You are correct. They still have to fund first responders so they are doing it through property taxes. Residents in Easttown pay more than $2m in EIT to other townships and none is recaptured.
So in Easttown, I thinking on election day that you do not wish to vote for the candidates who should be wearing Dumb and Dumber t-shirts.
Of course…many in Easttown pay it. But it doesn’t come home.. because there is no EIT. Same issue in Tredyffrin. Think about it.. Both parties are equally indifferent. Both are fine with subsidizing other jurisdictions…so long as there is perceived credit for engaging in this BS gaslighting. For nearly 20 years the R ‘s and D’s have played this game. Imagine if the $ ppl were already paying could go into our treasury….
