Hilarious pro-meals tax letter

First, they think "meal's tax" is correct.

Second, they are confused about capitalization.

Something tells me they had a lot of school spirit though.

If the County's fiscal climate becomes business-hostile, that will have an impact on property values as well-but that argument is probably way over the head(s) of the authors (who are confused about singular and plural).

They have a problem with plural vs. the possessive case. I hope they aren't english teachers.

Sound like 1%ers who bought their place in Great Falls right before the market crashed (which is why they keep mentioning housing prices). IOW hit the nail on the head.

I really miss the daze when I wood get a resume in the male and then unceremoniously shred it as soon as I spotted 1 mistake or if the resume went on for multiple pages.

So if you applied to a local government contracting position circa 1996-1999 and wondered why you never heard back, I'm one reason why. You are the real reason.

Please learn to punctuate. Follow proper grammar and usage.

Call me a snob, but if you are too lazy to edit or proofread your resume, we don't need you here.

Also, watch apostrophe's!

Note I purposely maid mistake's in this post sew please don't brother curlrecting me.

"Also, watch apostrophe's! "

That had me almost spit out my drink laughing. Thanks!

Shirley Bloomquist, in additionally to being borderline illiterate, is not only involved in college admissions but also a Facebook friend with Sharon Bulova.

She and her probably equally dimwitted husband should be the poster children for defeating the meals tax.

Fairfax County needs to cut its budget. Gone are the days where Democrats will dictate that we must grow at 10% per year.

There's a tremendous amount of welfare fraud going on in Fairfax County.

It's absurd.

Let's take care of those who are in need (the young, the old, and the handicapped), and cut back on all the pig-fat.

We need to start at the top and vote out every single Democrat on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

The Democrats are the scurge of the County.

She must be, or claim to be, part Indian. Columbia is a good school, what explains her poor writing skills?

She's almost certainly a Hillary supporter.

I hope that it puts to bed the concept of which state universities are better UVA vs Tech vs GMU vs JMU vs VCU vs WM...... Garbage in, garbage out.

arlington has a different rent structure, thus per employee the target rent differs

also: while fcps pay is too high it isn't as high as some counties. however: some of these people (who do so in a county who is NOT producting paying exports) are facing jailtime for signing loans fraudulently using other peoples names "the county".

it's called "a false instrument of payment", a bad check

the worst case for "near zero productivity" is to use loans to build buildings and strip malls strees and necessesity infrastructure (habitable areas those lending would like to habitate or sell)

a better case would be to real productivity, real investors, and not use loans at all

Taxes make meals taste better!
Plus, an after dinner tax mint is really satisfying.
