In case you wondered about home rule and taxation.

I have had several questions about how home rule affects the ability to tax its residents and found this article. Link above

What kind of idiot do we have running this city?

Anyone in there right mind would understand that raising sales taxes will DRIVE OUT BUSINESS AND SHOPPERS ?

Why shop in Peru when we can go to the surrounding cities and get the same things!

Are we Stupid or what !

Can we recall this Mayor NOW or do we have to wait for two more years ?


HELP HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!

If Mr Perez has the second ward in his back pocket to support a sales tax increase then I guess next election for him will also be one of a short time served. He is OUT.

How many people are unemployed in the city, how many are on food stamps, how many folks are using the food pantry in town ?

I have NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A STUPID IDEA OR RECOMMENDATION IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES.

Who would use our roads if they all shop out of town ????
