Folks, Cleveland County Commissioner Chairman Kevin Gordon says taxes are not necessarily taxes. There are Property Taxes which depend on both tax rates and property valuations. That fees on taxpayers are not taxes. That sales taxes are so low that they are not taxes either. That the new sales tax increase referendum will only cost 25 cents per $100 spent. Which is nothing. Of course, every taxpayer knows that everything that government puts on them, whether it be sales taxes, property taxes, Income taxes, garbage fees, School taxes, city taxes, fire taxes, Revenue Stamps on deeds, and whatever, all end up doing one thing. Taking money out of the Taxpayer’s pockets and putting the money into government accounts. Where Government spends those taxpayer dollars wastefully and with a “wild abandon.” Cleveland County Commissioner Chairman Kevin “Mad Dog” Gordon firmly believes in Wild Abandon!!! For him and him only!
Commissioner Chairman Kevin Gordon is also a well-practiced LIAR. Mad Dog Gordon falsely writes that HE does NOT want to raise taxes and neither do the Board of County Commissioners. One would immediately ask, “then why did YOU ALL vote unanimously to put a sales tax increase referendum on the 2022 Elections ballot?? An act that Commissioners, including Kevin Gordon before he was appointed by the Rogue Republicans to be a County Commissioner candidate in the 2020 Elections. (Gordon never personally “signed up” to run in that election. Or any election that Robert A has knowledge of.) This is the third time this sales tax increase referendum has shown up on our Election Ballots. Voters have voted overwhelmingly against that sales tax increase two times already and will very likely vote overwhelmingly AGAINST that sales tax increase once again on November 8th, 2022.
But, Kevin “Mad Dog” Gordon refuses to take NO for an answer. That Sales tax increase is on the 2022 Cleveland County Elections Ballot and Mad Dog has already cooked up another way to get into Cleveland County taxpayer’s pockets. And Robert A is about to provide you with undeniable PROOF. A clip from the October 13, 2022 Cleveland County Commissioners “Workshop” video. Commissioner Kevin “Mad Dog” clearly states that HE will task “Staff” to come up with a FEE Schedule for the new mandatory “Fire Codes” that the Commissioners are about to approve. Gordon can be clearly heard to say that Building Codes have fees that the citizens have to pay. We should also make citizens PAY for Mandatory Fire Codes.
For our readers, this 40-second video clip that is attached to this article has been enhanced to clearly prove, audio and video, to ALL readers that the Commissioners, led by Mad Dog Gordon are going after your pocketbook once again. And that’s not including the new Property Tax collection “Gestapo” Unit that are, as we speak, going after 500 selected Cleveland County residences as a “Practice Run” for property tax increases. This info will be provided in a separate article, but please beware that your house might be on that 500 list. And there have already been clashes with residents. Please make sure YOU don’t get caught up in any “Cross-Fire.” Stay tuned for that shocking violation of a citizen’s civil right to be safe and secure in one’s own home. YOU will be surprised about this ‘home invasion” and how the Gestapo folks were caught in the act, And, especially who this home belonged to.
Now, check out the video of YOUR Commissioner Chairman, Kevin “Mad Dog” Gordon, doing his dirty work. All approved by the other four Commissioner “Sheep.” You may replay this video clip as many times as necessary for you to believe your eyes and ears.
Editor’s Note: As Robert A has now acquired the technical capability to obtain and edit long videos to remove the “fluff,” be prepared to watch many more examples of the poor service we Cleveland County citizens are receiving from our elected officials.
