Voters: Say “No!” to Higher Taxes

May 19th, 2008 · No Comments

On May 27th you have a chance to make your voice heard and to send a clear message to our Idaho State Leaders.

In 2007 Senator Stan Bastian, acting as Eagle City Councilman, made the council motion to create a Local Improvement District (LID) allowing the City of Eagle to force a $7.2 million dollar tax on its residents without allowing them to vote on the issue. This motion was seconded by Phil Bandy, now Mayor.

In his campaign for re-election to the State Senate for District 14, Senator Bastian has made comments indicating he supports the people’s right to vote on the LID. His record indicates otherwise. Not only is there no record of him opposing the LID, he was the one who made the motion to create it! This is campaign double talk at its worst. Senator Bastian continues to support increased taxes and bigger government.

Say ”No!” to political double talk. Say “No!” to increased taxes.

It was not until the people of Eagle became outraged and NEW City Councilman were elected that the LID was dissolved and a path was chosen to put the purchase of Eagle Water Company to a vote of the people.

Saundra McDavid actively supported the people’s right to vote during her campaign for Mayor of Eagle in 2007 and during the LID hearings in 2008. She petitioned our State Senate Leaders to pass a bill which would have prevented cities from abusing the LID statutes and forcing taxes on their residents without their votes. Senator Bastian did not offer his support at the Senate Hearings on the bill. He was not there! Neither was candidate Chuck Winder. McDavid is the only District 14 Senate candidate who attended the meetings and was willing to support the residents of Eagle.

McDavid is opposed to increased taxes. She is against increasing the gas tax. (Both Bastian and Winder have supported an increase in the gas tax.) McDavid wants our property taxes lowered, and would like to eliminate the grocery tax. She has the courage to say “No!” to increased taxes.

Same day Voter Registration is available at the Polls. Early voting is available NOW!
