Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!

According to The Repository, The Stark County Commissioners delayed making a decision on Massillon's request to annex the R.G. Drage Career Technical Center.

"Commissioners said Wednesday that they don't necessarily agree with the annexation, which would subject teachers and staff at the technical center to Massillon's income tax."

Perhaps the county commissioners need to spend a little time with Massillon's answer to Thomas Jefferson, Fifth Ward Councilman Donnie Peters. According to Peters, the city's income tax "comes with the territory," and he's tired of hearing arguments about "taxation without representation" (The Independent, 4/13/10). We are guessing King George III was tired of those arguments from his colonies, too. And hey, if its what the Mayor wants, who are you to argue.

It is no secret that Peters is no fan of President Barack Obama, complaining about taxes, and referring to him as a "socialist." Well Donnie, it takes one to know one, and if the Sickle and Hammer fit....
