Most Oakland city workers don’t live in Oakland and don’t pay local taxes. Yet their unions have spent nearly half a million dollars to campaign for Measure E, another local parcel tax increase.
What do I get for paying more taxes? Certainly NOT law and order. NOT clean streets and parks. The sad thing is, the same people who constantly complain about the cost of housing, will vote for more property taxes every time, because they don't understand that THEY will ultimately pay it, and the Unions stuff their pockets.
More outstanding perspective you will not get from the MAGA-Left press
