Orange County commissioners have the reputation for being the most liberal in the Triangle — and they are. Look no further than the $45,000 in public money being spent on a breastfeeding consultant. But, Durham commissioners aren’t far behind, thanks to Durham County Commission Chairman Michael Page, who is raising the idea of a “commuter tax.”
Why? Because Page wants to find a way to get money from those who work in Durham County but live elsewhere. Page thinks that unless you live in Durham, you don’t contribute enough to the area.
It’s a ridiculous idea that, according to the WRAL story, already has some officials worried. Can you say JOB KILLER?
