This is a mayor who calls himself conservative while supporting lobbyist that fight appraisal cap and rate cap reform efforts at the legislature. These are the sheep in wolves cloths hiding behind the American flag. When they thought they might have challengers they made sure the media new they were going to place it on the ballot and now that they think no one will file they pulled it off the ballot. Remember last year when the city purchases bottom land from one of their favorite developers who is on the mayor and several council members CFRs for full market value for about the same price as this exemption would have offered? Sure it is always about police and fire, never their special interest EDC member projects.
