MAPS IV vote is set for Tuesday. Nearly all of the money is going to “solve” societal issues like crime, mental health, and other things that are better left to churches and families to deal with. Few things survive the government getting involved, most are made worse, and a host of “non profits” and experts grow up around the system to feed off the unfortunate.
Mayor Holt has admitted that the sales tax continuing will not fund 100% of the costs of these projects, it will in fact require higher property taxes and sales taxes to fund the programs.
One of the programs is the Diversion Hub, Sue Ann Arnal‘s non profit for criminals. Free attorneys, free babysitter, free rides to court, no bail bond required. No one to chase after the criminal when they don't show up for court either. No one to hold accountable when they do like Talley and commit crimes while awaiting trial.
Vote no on MAPS IV.
