EDITOR:

Are you sick of all of these misleading political ads? I know I am. Some ads are outright lies. Of course these ads are from “committees” and not a particular candidate. One ad that is getting to me is the one that says ..she voted for property tax increases… Your property tax is set and no politician can raise your property tax. Property taxes are your mileage times your taxable value. Mileages can only be changed by a vote by the taxpayers, such as school mileages, DATA mileage, sheriff mileage, college mileage and the like. Your taxable value can only change if certain conditions change, like new construction, a sale, and of course the consumer price index, or the inflation rate multiplier. Don’t be fooled. The same goes for the sales tax increase. This can not be changed unless the public votes for it.

Another example of this gross inaccuracy is …she voted to charge doctors and nurses for committing abortions. Politicians don’t make law, not even judges make laws. We, the people, vote on law changes.

If I had a lot of expendable money, I would like to find an attorney to sue these “committees” for actually stating falsehoods. Don’t be fooled, bullied or mislead.
