Gulliford, his comments are unreal. I feel like I'm reading Animal Farm when I read his quotes.

He sounds just like the fictional pigs that have to justify their crazy Animal Farm taxes, laws and policies to the group of not so brilliant other animals.

Sales tax is much more "punitive" to those with lower income than a millage rate increase. Again, Jax is a very low taxed city, so raising real estate taxes to me is not a big problem.

Yes, but those with lower incomes don't vote as much and don't fund campaigns.

Isn't this like a homeowner who's mortgage completes in 2030, agreeing to continue paying the same amount after 2030, in exchange for reducing their current mortgage payment?  Is that the basic concept?

If so, how is that being fiscally responsible?  I don't think Dave Ramsey would approve.

As President Obama would say....

"Its irresponsible, its unpatriotic"
