Bravo Brevard!

If you haven't already heard, an estimated 10,000 people showed up last night at the Town Hall meeting at the King Center. We brought our lawn chairs and our signs and braved the cold weather. And they thought no one would show up. The some of the legislatures were late because of all the traffic. Cars were parked on every available space at the King Center and down the street as well.

The legislatures pointed out that we could raise taxes here in Brevard and all of that money would stay in Brevard. Then Dipatri came back and said that education is State Funded it should no fall on the responsibility of the county.

We still need to write letters and make phone calls. The legislatures were voted in by us and we need to tell them what we need. Ask questions in your letter. Such as:

• How much money do we need to get our education up to the standards of the rest of the country?
• How much money would be raised by adding a bottle water tax, raising the alcohol tax or adding an Internet tax?
• Will you support taxing big retail companies that don't currently pay Florida taxes?

This is not just a Brevard County issue. This is a problem state wide. Brevard county is one of the few counties that isn't wasting money in their school system, why not have the state lawmakers take a look at the counties that are wasting their money.
