TAX PROTEST in NORTH BEND---TAX PROTEST in BANDON---All in the same day…..

 TAX PROTEST in NORTH BEND---TAX PROTEST in BANDON---All in the same day…..

There will be a peaceful, limited and orderly “Tax Protest” at North Bend City Hall & then at Bandon City Hall during their public meetings on November 7th.

This is not a traditional protest, but more of a filibuster by the people.  We need concerned citizens to tell these governing bodies, that they need to stop increasing the debt and size of their Urban Renewal Agencies. 

NOTES:
People need to speak up during the public comment section of the meeting.
Please be orderly, polite and respectful.  Speak clearly and succinctly. 

·        Nov. 7, 4:30 p.m., the council will hear public comment on prioritizing urban renewal projects at its regularly scheduled work session in the council chambers in North Bend City Hall.  They will also discuss increasing the urban renewal boundary.  www.northbendcity.org  City Hall 835 California Street, North Bend, OR  97459 Read more: North Bend looks to the future

·        Nov. 7, 7:00 p.m., the council will hear public comment during its public comment section of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting in the Bandon City Hall.  The public will get 3 minutes to comment and that is when we should stand up to speak out in single file.    www.ci.bandon.or.us   City Hall on Hwy, 101 in Bandon 

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Urban Renewal---
---uses tax dollars designated for other taxing districts that provide for basic services, such as schools, the community college, hospitals, fire departments, and law enforcement

---causes other taxing districts to raise property taxes to cover the money drained by Urban Renewal. 

---programs have little to no oversight, and those funds have been notoriously misused by politicians.

--- projects built by Urban Renewal funding cannot be maintained by Urban Renewal money and those facilities will become the financial obligation of the state or be put into another taxing district, or they will have to create an entirely new taxing district, which either way, it will eat up more of the Property Tax Pie. 

--- affects every property taxpayer in the county, yet the majority of those people never get to vote for the Urban Renewal Boards, making this a form of “Taxation Without Representation.” 

---is a form of corporate welfare, because it takes money from the tax payer and puts that money directly into the hands of corporations and wealthy developers.

--- creates aberrations in the economy for local businesses that cannot qualify to receive Urban Renewal funding or who chose not to take the money for moral reasons.

---distorts the marketplace and inflates prices on products and services for businesses outside the Urban Renewal area’s and that cost is passed onto consumers.  

---creates an economic environment where businesses and developers expect to receive Urban Renewal money to do business or develop in the Urban Renewal area. 

--- can cause economic bubbles in local real estate markets by unnaturally inflating the assessed value of property within or near a redevelopment areas, which will increase the property taxes paid for by the taxpayer.

---takes credit for developing an area when that development may have taken place anyways in another area at another time, but it would have been developed according to consumer demands and not government mandate, and using private investment , not tax dollars.
