Madison - Gov. Jim Doyle on Tuesday traded targeted
tax increases - on smokers, hospitals and oil companies -
for more health care and stable funding for the state's
transportation system.

"targeted tax increases"- What does that mean to the average
people of Berry Lake?
It means since we have lake frontage we will see more of a
tax increase compared to others in Oconto County!

"on smokers, hospitals and oil companies"- what does that
mean to the people on Berry Lake?
It means if you don't smoke( I quit on Jan 1st), you don't ever
go to the hospital, you don't drive to work , you don't ride a pontoon
boat in summer, you don't cut lawn or God forbid you don't go to
church on Sunday , you won't get taxed!

Handing the Legislature his two-year budget, the governor
also called for a $20 increase in the annual car registration fee.
The 36% boost would bring it from $55 to $75.
In his re-election campaign last year, he said he supported
an increase of about $10.

36% increase - that means that $6.99 can of coffee will now
cost over $10.00 , That $2 30 gal of Gasoline will now cost
over $ 3.00 a gal, that a $20,000 new vehicle will now cost
over $27,000.00 .Yes your $20,000 collage fee's for your
child just went over $27,000.

Nawwwwwwwwww- 36 % isn't that much!

$20 increase - what does that mean ?
Well this summer we and our neighbors will spend
over $ 600.00 on registration of our vehicles. Oh I forgot,
we and the neighbors have 3 trucks , it will be more
than $600.00 !

Oh I guess the $10 he said before being elected was

a) a lie,

b) Wis is more in debt than we knew last fall, wait
we were told the budget was balanced!

c) you people are sleeping , wake up .

d) you are assuming room temperature and do not know you
passed away!

I always hated those multiple choice questions in school!

Aides said the budget makes good on a campaign promise to
not raise general sales or income taxes.

Oh boy that should make you feel good , all other taxes are
going up (did you catch that) except
GENERAL SALES or INCOME TAXES.
But you know all other taxes will go up !
Do you also understand most state fee's will go up also!
A FEE IS ALSO A TAX TO YOU LIBERALS AND
CANDY's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW,

Where do you people think this extra, (he uses the word)
"REVENUES" come from.

For those of us on BERRY LAKE - REVENUES means
Taxes out of our pocket!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I had enough.

You can go to MJS online for the rest of it .

It's 3:50 a m and I going back to bed!
