That was neat. One victory with more to come.
Anti-tax protesters bum-rushed the government center today to make clear that the Mecklenburg County Commission should not ask the state for authority to double the existing transit tax to a full penny.
The message got through — even to Democrats, Vilma Leake, George Dunlap, and Dumont Clarke. But the matter will still come up again next week for a formal vote.
And be bum-rushed again.
Bonus Observation: Let’s see if the Uptown paper credits the Tea Party movement with stopping the head-long rush to a $70m. a year tax hike — or even mentions them. I’m guessing… no.
