John, they are talking about just this matter on another blog at http://firstcoastteaparty.ning.com/profiles/blogs/everbank-and-corp...

 

I think there is something about next Thursday but I am not sure.  I posted the rules committee meeting (ethics bill discussion should happen in the AM tomorrow) and I also posted the next city council meeting on the events calendar.   If I can get someone to mention a date or we can get a date, I would list as an event and then, let Billie take it from there if she wants to send something to the total membership.   We DO need to stay on top of this, the ethics commission and a couple of other hot items right now!   It just never ends.

 

Oh by the way, those 3% tax increases for 3 years amounted to 9.27% when you figure the compound on it as you added 3% and then, charged an additional 3% on that and then, the 3rd year added 3% more to the whole thing yet again.

Do you know when this comes before the city council.

I think what we might ask is who is connected to this bank?  You may rest assured there is more to this than meets the eye.  This will be the first large concern to move downtown, and they are setting a standard we taxpayers can't continue.  We don't have the money to award the costs to move to everyone that decides to move downtown, now can we?  And basically, they are raising the property taxes of the unemployed so they can give the money to a bank that has plenty of money and doesn't need it.  How does that make sense?????

Atlantic Coast Bank is a great bank and they actually know you when you go in.  To heck with all the big names, they don't know us or care about us.
