So this guys campaign talking points are based off of his once owing about $3 and change for taxes...
What a joke. Whomever is pushing him should be ashamed. Looks as if one candidate is able to accurately articulate Fact as opposed to lies.

So everyone who takes money from Ms McQuiston is her candidate. I am curious what makes them hers, in the political sense?

She is about personal vendettas and runs with a interesting crowd of high rollers. She spearheaded the effort to defeat Bob Hudson based on a personal agenda. Faulk (Congrats) was / is a pawn being used in this game. No dispute he won, but his talking points were proven false and I certain he had no involvement in creating them (talking points). Big money wins (buys) elections around here. She has affiliated with big money and has won one of two elections this go around. The other two Mosquito Candidates are much more qualified to hold office than Faulk, but he won, so good for him.

Am I missing something? These tax bills are for different properties. It seems he has one homestead exemption and pays taxes on the other properties. I don't see the 'point' of this.

It's very telling when they do.

The top bill is his 2014 tax bill which is 0.00 - the bottom bill was 2013.
That's not exactly a 26 % tax increase.
He won
Last post from me on the race.

Things are never as simple as advertising and soundbites try to make them. Governing is hard work and good government requires a genuine desire to serve and improve your community. I have come to be leery of people who's answer is always cutting taxes because sometimes circumstances do not allow that course. I think it is always good policy to have the lowest possible tax rates but the critical functions of government must be funded and going in debt should be the last option. You also have to look at the real numbers instead of trusting someone's statistics. If your tax bill is one dollar and is rises to two, you have a 100% tax increase. In real terms you lose a cup of coffee a year.
In the end what is in a person's heart should be more important than how many catchy slogans they can pay someone to write. But, unfortunately, our electoral process these days has that exactly backwards. So we elect weak people who are controlled by one group or the other and the business of governing continues to suffer. And in many cases we get races where neither candidate deserves our vote and we hold our nose and try to pick the lessor of two evils. In utopia a third party or independent would become a viable option, but history shows that is not very realistic.
