Persuasive Letter To Folson

261 Words2 Pages

Doug. Respectfully, your either a ineffective board member or your intentionally misleading folks. My finger is pointing directly at the truth. Certain folks within the Chambers Executive team are effectively actin as a financial conduit, funding our career elected officials to promote an particular outside interest in Folsom. My proof is solid. Check each incumbents 460 contribution form. I 'll even give you the link. (https://www.folsom.ca.us/depts/city_clerk/elections___fppc.asp) You 'll see all the $70,000 + for Howell, Morin and Miklos campaign materials came from the Chambers Political Action Committee (BizPAC) and outside developers who all have projects currently in Folsom. This includes almost every subsidiary LLC South of 50. But the establishment politicians in Folsom say there 's zero conflict of interests... Right! Now, where did the money the Chamber raised come from and where was it spent? Almost 100% of BizPAC 's money came from outside development companies with current or future development plans in Folsom. BizPAC claims to represent the voice and Folsom small business yet take a guess how much of that money was spent with actual Folsom businesses? 6%! All those Miklos, Morin and Howell signs and mailers were bought using non-Folsom business 's. As a Chamber board member, you should be up in arms, but your not. …show more content…

You know darn well I don 't have a problem with the Chamber staff or its members. I take issue with the political cronies turning the Chamber into a political machine for personal interests, misleading Folsom business 's and most importantly, the residents of Folsom. When you want to make a difference, you know how to

  • The Pros And Cons Of Congressional Farming

    151 Words  | 1 Pages

    It is of concern to me that Congressmen that own farmland are not mandated to publicly state who they are. These secret subsidies means that most Congressional farmers are profiting instead of independent farmers. This is money that could circulate in that independent farmer’s community that go to a white collar businessman. So why did the House and the Senate mutually agree to not list the Congressman with shares in the farming industry?

  • Proposition 13 Case Study

    952 Words  | 4 Pages

    On June 6th, 1978, nearly two-thirds of California’s voters passed Proposition 13 which reduced property tax rates on homes, businesses, and farms by about 57%. The tax rate prior to Proposition 13 was averaged about 3% of the market value, but there were no limits on increases for the tax rate. Many of the properties were reassessed 50% to 100% in just one year and their owners’ property tax bills increased as well. Under Proposition 13 tax reform, property tax value was rolled back and stabled at the 1976 assessed value level. So no property tax on any given home, business, or farm could increase more than 2% per year but only if the property was not sold to a new owner.

    In the past few years, the United States has seen a huge spike in the money spent in federal elections (See Appendix 4.B). Not only have candidates been making greater efforts to communicate their ideas to the American public, but super PACs have also been displaying their support for candidates and their political policies; they do so by using their right to accept unlimited donations from the public and later, use that money to promote certain candidates, or to sway voters in a desired direction. The immense power that super PACs have to sway voters has come under harsh criticism, spurring the creation of new laws and limits on the super PACs in an attempt to keep them in check and to avoid possible corruption. These limits on super
