Rock River Patriots Meeting Friday December 14th
An early Merry Christmas to all. The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday December 14th at 6pm in Fort Atkinson at the Dwight Foster Library located at 209 Merchants Avenue. This is the only meeting we will have in December. At this meeting we will discuss current events and initiatives. We will discuss the spring elections and more. We have a lot of information to cover at this meeting and have at least one featured guest. We should have the DVD from Oconomowoc featuring Beverly Eakman talking about the playbook of the left and countering group manipulation. Those who are looking to get involved should consider running for school board. We would like to see several Patriots on the ballot for each of the school districts in Jefferson County. Remember, half of your taxes go to your local school district, so you have a vested interest in fiscal responsibility. The deadline for filing is January 2nd.
Taxes on the Rise – Change We Can’t Afford
The budget for The School District of Fort Atkinson includes a tax levy increase of 4.85%. While they don’t have the exact figures on how much it will affect homeowners, look for a tax increase. Based on my current school district tax levy, a 4.85% increase will amount to a $122 per year tax increase. Daily Union Story The Jefferson County tax levy increase, even WITHOUT PASSING the referendum, is 8.41%. Based on my current county taxes, a 8.41% increase will amount to a $108 per year tax increase. If the referendum passes (proposing a total tax increase of 16.56%), my county taxes will increase over $213 per year. Daily Union Story on County Budget This is outrageous! We spent 1 year contracting and building our home. We literally put our blood, sweat, and tears into it. We moved into a small 2 bedroom apartment during the building process. There were sacrifices upon sacrifices to obtain a part of the American Dream. Now, if this out of control taxation continues, we will be taxed out of the very home we built. We need to take back our goverment! This is change we can’t afford!
