Dear Editor:

I find it hard to stomach another school bond tax when our Democratic leaders, tax hikers Sen. Doug Berger and Rep. Lucy Allen, can magically give their political friends in Franklin County $600,000 of our state tax dollars including $50,000 for a Democratic commissioner’s restaurant.

Why didn’t Berger and Allen allocate that $600.000 to help build a school? After all, they are the ones pushing for this May school bond, which will result in another hefty property tax increase. Last year, the lottery allocated about $ l.5 million for our schools. Add the $600,000 taken from the school budget and it would be over $2 million.

It’s a bit ironic that we are the highest taxed state in the Southeast, yet the Democrats have no qualms pocketing our tax dollars for their personal gain at our expense.

I thought the Democrats were more concerned about building schools, not building restaurants at taxpayers’ expense.
