Schmitz Tax Fails

Well folks the tax and spender Todd Schmitz and his Democrat friends have failed again to add a ½% sales tax to Fond du Lac County. Below is the story from The Reporter. Notice Schmitz proposed the tax then voted against it. Sound like some one else from the Democratic Party (John Kerry, “I voted for the 87 billion before I voted against it.”)

Here's some advice folks, "Never Allow Todd Schmitz TO Be Elected To Anything Again!"

These types will tax us to death and beyond if possible.


County Board turns down sales tax

A half-percent countywide sales tax received little support Tuesday from the Fond du Lac County Board of Supervisors.

The proposed sales tax was voted down, 33-3, with County Board supervisors Jerry Keifenheim, Jenna Saul and Paul Levandowski voting for it.

County Board Supervisor Todd Schmitz, who proposed the sales tax, asked other County Board supervisors to vote against it. He said he wanted the County Board to discuss the issue but would vote against it himself.

Schmitz originally proposed the sales tax to help fund Rolling Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 1155 S. Military Road, but the County Board voted 27-9 earlier in the meeting to close the doors of Rolling Meadows and to create a new 24-bed nursing home facility inside a wing of the Health Care Center, 459 E. First St.

County Executive Allen Buechel said he would not veto a sales tax if the County Board passed it.

The half-percent sales tax, if approved, would have raised an estimated $6.1 million per year.
