Over the last two years, Magistrate Greenwell HAS VOTED FOR EVERY TAX AND FEE INCREASE brought before the Fiscal Court. These include increased property taxes, insurance premium taxes, stormwater fees, telephone taxes, sewer rate increases, garbage collection fees, etc. Is Magistrate Greenwell oblivious to the plight of taxpayers under these stressful economic conditions? The answer to that question seems painfully clear.
Magistrate Greenwell has consistently voted in agreement with Judge-Executive Murner on issues before the Fiscal Court. Is this a record of independent thinking or just a blind sheep following his shepherd? I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Magistrate Greenwell has also recently voted to create a Stormwater District Board and also supports new annual fees for every homeowner that will be collected by this board early in 2009. He fails to tell you that very few, if any, of the homeowners in his district are mandated by the Federal EPA for inclusion in this program. Regardless, he still wants every homeowner to pay this fee as another way to increase revenue and provide relief for the general fund to support additional spending.
Regarding the proposed Oldham County Airport, Magistrate Greenwell has TWICE had the opportunity to vote to stop consideration of this project during 2008. On both occasions, he voted in support of continuing work by the Airport Board - even after extremely stiff opposition to the first airport study by the public (and numerous constituents of his). Greenwell clearly continues to support the existence and work of the Airport Board. Just how many studies and how much input from his constituents does Greenwell need to make a decision? It is obvious that Judge-Executive Murner wants the airport, but DO YOU?
