The headline in this morning's paper contains a lot of toilet talk. "Mayor unrolls a novel way to wipe out sewer costs." The article includes his proposal for a ten-cent federal tax on every roll of toilet paper you buy. Omaha has been mandated to start a multi billion-dollar sewer project. Of course funding is unavailable and there is a completion date demanding dirt must be dug and trunk lines put down to replace old outdated sewer lines by 2024.
Ten cents per roll seems like a lot. We all know what the Boston colonists did over the tea tax, which led to our tea party demonstrators of today. Toilet paper tax could lead to a toilet party, heaven forbid.
This is the same mayor that I signed the petition to recall..and got myself in the paper and on television. He taxed our restaurants and even the folks that drove into Omaha to work from out of the city limits. The latter has been withdrawn as it bordered unconstitutional as it was flagrant taxation without representation.
I am beginning to feel sorry for our mayor.
