Taking a town of under 6,000 from zero debt to 22-million, while still raising taxes? My math says that's a debt of over $3,667 per resident.

It also, as the story says, was hardly done while spending responsibly.

Oh buddy. Joe Biden's going to have a field day with her. lol

Interesting. Alaska is one of the few states that doesn't have a state income tax. It also is the only state, as far as I can see, that doesn't have a state sales tax. Individual communities can set local sales taxes from 1% to 6%. I wonder what their property tax rate looks like.

Delaware also has no state sales tax, although I believe they do have an income tax.

Ironic, the two VP candidates come from those states. Should make for an interesting turn or two in the debate.

Thanks for that info, pinky. Yeah, the debates should be very interesting. lol

I hope he eats her alive.

I also hope she gets a voice coach so she could sound less annoying.

Now, Sparks, let's not open ourselves to charges of sexism. ;)

I actutally backspaced something earlier that would have sounded horribly sexist. It wasnt coming from a sexist place, but I knew i'd get trounced for it. lol

But her voice is insanely annoying. Hillary was smart enough to get a voice coach. and her voice started sounded less annoying ;)

i actually think all these people should get a voice coach, i think it'd be hard to speak that much daily without screwing up your throat.

Now, Sparks, let's not open ourselves to charges of sexism. ;)
Wouldn't that be "North-ism?"

That voice we know from the movie Fargo and Prairie Home Companion and maybe a little "Great White North?"
