This is an old but tried and true saying. According to the City of Woodland Capital Improvement budget Adopted June 16, 2009, this budget "Wish List", unfunded as of June 16,2009, amounts to $292,968,356.
These are the items, if the money was or will be available at the time, that would be spent between the 2009-2010 through 2018-2019. The real surge in budgets occurs in 2013-2014.
I urge you to go the the City of Woodland website and see the projects that are proposed and the cost of the items that make up this number. If you think we are getting gouged for more money now, wait until 2013-14.
While the revenue from the proposed 1/4% sales tax will raise some money, it pales in comparison to the request leading up to 2013-14. We should stop this nonsense now and let the City of Woodland know that we are not in favor of any sales tax increase until they can prove that their house is in order, even if it is "Only" a 1/4% increase.
