this city dweller, property owning, property tax paying citizen does not want to see taxes rise for non essential, recreational items.

That seems pretty clear.

How many of your group, regardless of age, actually reside in the city; own property; and pay property taxes?

I concede, I do not live in the city. I do however own real estate on which I pay property taxes.

And so far, you vocal baseball proponents have not made a case. In fact, you seem to have new positions every other day. You get caught with your own words; and then are not man enough to stand up and admit the forked tongue you and your cohorts use to try to flim flam the city's property tax payers.

I have said it consistently. Every time you & mike post, you cause more harm to your group's position. Keep up the good work.
