Oh, how do we, the BOCC
Raise the tax on YOUR property?
With cruel indifference,
Maniacal glee!!
This list, a mere trifle of the lust
And vigor in trashing your trust!
But what the heck
This our power, our grift!!!
In Admin Building,
As we speak,
Pristine latrines gutted, replaced!
No protest, not a peep
$815,000, down the drain.
The cost: $679 a foot!
$23 million to Evergreen’s delight
A one year lease buyout!
And ‘tis a hulk of past that stands
480,000 square foot, vacant expanse
In New Century, who cares?
Tax giveaways criticized? Few dare!!
Prudent department heads cut,
We think, they’re nuts!
As in we swoop and expand
And the budget we bust!!!
Welfare, corporate style,
In one year this cash pile
$108 million to the favored few
Panasonic, Hunt Midwest are two!
And the ghost of Sprint
Was once on this list.
To the World Cup, millions we send
And laugh as tax bills descend
Upon YOU
Poor fools…
And then…..
Cnano, from China came
And tax goodies we gave
30 cents a foot, is all they pay.
This rate for your abode?
$600 dollars a year for a home
Of 2,000 square foot!!
And empty, Cnano building stands,
Another ghost structure, a scam?
And so in memorial this ode
To a tradition older than Rome
The least is fleeced!!!
And we,
The BOCC exclaim,
(With no shame)
“In this,
We top the list!!!!!” |
