Does this jackass know where you live? Be careful, girl!Well it was an exciting council meeting tonight. I was sitting there being all councilwoman like, asking good questions making good decisions. And a resident who was upset because he got a lien on his property because he didn't pay his local income taxes lost his ever loving mind. Now keep in mind he got mad at stupid s***. He wouldn't let Jason talk he wanted to talk about it out of order he took up 20 minutes of the meeting which usually isn't allowed we tried to help him. He doesn't understand how stuff works, and he is absolutely insistent that we are out to get him and take his property away. Said he was poor lived in the village for over 10 years and there's never paid income tax before and the bill was $652 and he doesn't have $652. And yet he's adding on to his house bought a new camper over the winter etc etc etc. He was beside himself. Luckily we have Village Police there. Even our police was like simmer down. He doesn't understand the difference between property taxes and income taxes and talked about getting $1,000 back and all this other stuff. Which is wrong. And he was not wanting to be helped he was just there to complain and yell at us. The mayor has the patience of a saint. But I tried to call him tonight and he didn't answer. I think he's done for now. Either that or his partner got home and he didn't want to take away time from him. He was insistent that we had to have a tax person on our board but we told them the administrator of local taxes is Rita they are the person that we use, along with a lot of other villages in Ohio who don't have the money to hire a tax specialist. He was also upset when we were talking about getting a new police cruiser for $7,000 including all the equipment except for radios from a village who had industry move in, and has a $6 million dollar year budget ours is like a tenth of that less than that. And he started with I don't want this Village to grow it's needs to stay small. We don't want all these taxes. Then he said is that what your intentions are and the mayor tried to explain to him that in order to survive we have to grow. Oh man that really ticked him off. I hate confrontation. What really made me nervous is when at the end of it he would stare at the mayor and then he would look to his left and look at the police officers then he would look at the mayor and back at the police officers. It was like active shooter type situation he didn't have a gun, but it was a little spooky. Small government is not for the week of heart
