Bait and Switch.

Clinton Library project costs twice as much as he said it would.

The Clinton Foundation said in 2002 that it would spend $4,000,000 on
renovation of the Rock Island Bridge, and the City of Little Rock committed
another $1,000,000. Now, estimates are in the vicinity of
$10,000,000.

Big surprise, right?

Q: How do you raise taxes without raising taxes?

A: By sending out misleading "notices."

SPRINGDALE -- City residents will be receiving an ad valorem tax notice from the city next week, but it's a volunteer tax.

The notices ask Springdale residents to pay voluntary taxes to support the fire department and the Springdale library.


Note to Springdale: if they're voluntary, they're not taxes. Even if you try to deceive taxpayers into thinking they have to pay them.
