I just was told that the address we must use to send in our city of Muskegon property taxes is in Chicago.... yes, THAT Chicago.
The Chicago of Senators-for-sale, Governors making license plates, "The Dailey Machine", "SouthSidePolitical Machine", etc.
And, oh yeah, home of our President-elect.
Anyway, I have a few thoughts about Muskegon outsourcing our tax collection services.
1. WHY!!!!!!
I assume the "official" reason is that it is "cheaper/more efficient" to outsource a city duty to the 2nd most corrupt city in the midwest (imagine if we outsourced to Detroit!).
2. But if it is "cheaper/more efficient" where are the savings right here in Muskegon?
What jobs have been cut?
What net savings accrue to us poor Muskegonites by this fiscal efficiency?
3. Why the silence from the City of Muskegon?
Why are we not proudly told by the city of their brilliant move to save costs to the taxpayers?
4. Why isn't The Muskegon Chronicle front-paging the great news that the city of Muskegon is utilizing the same methods of efficiency that The Chronicle recently imposed, ITSELF, to save moolah, outsourcing?
5. And if not pride at the new efficiency:
Where is the outrage?
The angry, double-dog umbrage!
The "say it ain't so Joe!" in high dudgeon from the editorialistas of our Muskegon Chronicle who have long warned us of the evils of outsourcing?
6. The silence is... not deafening.... simply consistent from our city of Muskegon and its lapdog/newspaper of self-destruction.
7. Or it might just be that someone paid someone to make the deal and we, the taxpayers are screwed again.
Thank God for Indiana!
