Con artist golf trips may force tax increase

[someoneyouknow]

Since the con artist first started using taxpayer money to fly down to his club in Florida and play golf almost every weekend, Palm Beach County is considering a special tax to make up for the costs of keeping the con artist.

To date, the county has spent $2 million of its own money to keep the con artist locked away from the people. More than $60 thousand a day, and none of it being reimbursed.

This doesn't include the businesses which are hemorrhaging money because of the con artist's golf outings. Every time the con artist flies in on the taxpayer dime a local airport has to shut down for the entire time he's around. Marian Smith, who owns a flight school, says she has lost almost $100,000 because of the closures. A banner-towing company that operates from the airport says it has lost over $40,000 in contracts.

Too bad the con artist is so buy golfing or he'd have time to do real work and not destroy people's livelihood or send municipalities into debt. Then again, he's bragged about being the king of debt so none of this should be surprising. It's not his money after all.

I'm sure that they won't mind a special tax that will disappear after Trump leaves office, because that's definitely what happens with special taxes.

No one likes being forced. May I suggest better lube?

And the republicnas-who bitched about Obama and Michelle's vacations-are now responding with the mature "well Obama did it"

When in fact no president I can recall in my lifetime and maybe never has ever taken weekly vacations and run up this kind of tab.

meanwhile this is the asshole who wanted to cut finding on meals on wheels.

Someone who bamboozled you. You voted for him. He isn't a bit different now than he was before the election.

Kiss Florida's vote good bye next time around.

To have local businesses lose money and earnings due to his refusal to use Camp David is stupid. He doesn't care about small business and tax payers. This sort of arrogance proves it.
