The Supreme Court made huge waves in the ongoing debate surrounding the rights of illegal immigrants in the United States when it temporarily blocked Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act, which calls for the removal of identified gang members (from confirmed terrorist organizations), following the filing of an emergency application by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The order notes, “The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.” Of course, it has left many people divided, as it surrounds controversial members of the Venezuelan Tren da Aragua gang, as well as the Salvadoran MS-13 gang and several Mexican cartels. I will ask Michael A. Letts, the Founder, President, and CEO of InVest USA (a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces all across the U.S.), his thoughts about the Supreme Court intervening in the enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has instituted what she and her political cohorts call a “congestion pricing program,” which was approved by the Biden administration on Joe's way out of the White House. Hochul and company sought approval from Biden and his people because the program is a toll on roads built and maintained with federal dollars, which is a violation of federal law. The Trump administration reviewed the program, canceled the approval granted by Biden, and issued a deadline to end the collection of tolls. Hochul and other New York officials have, so far, ignored the Trump administration, but now faces an escalation as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has issued warnings that federal funding for construction projects in New York City will be cut off if the illegal toll isn't ended. I discuss the issue with Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorists Association, an organization dedicated to protecting American drivers against the tyranny of the anti-car movement. I was joined by Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience. We discussed the arrest of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano and his wife, Nancy, for tampering with evidence that was part of a probe by Homeland Security Investigations into their association with 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, who authorities say is linked to Tren de Aragua; also, the arrest of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan for intentionally misdirected federal agents away from a subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. We also discussed North Dakota Republican Governor Kelly Armstrong vetoing a bill that would have required school districts to keep books determined to be “sexually explicit” out of the reach of students.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/supportInVest USATruth, Lies and Control: Finding Hope in an Upside-Down WorldNational Motorist Association Ron EdwardsIf you love high-quality jerky, you need to check out Jerky Snob.

Donald Wilkie, seasoned entrepreneur, expert in the intricate relationship between government, autonomy, and freedom as well as the author of Freedom Revealed: A Simple Elegant System, joined me to discuss the ideas behind his book and the historical context that led to his discovery of the system of freedom rather than focusing on the philosophy of liberty.Scott Miller, author of THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN WASHINGTON, worked in a rural area of Washington state as a pediatric physician's assistant during the pandemic. He had initial success treating COVID-19 patients using breathing treatments. Word spread, and he became known as the only provider in his area willing to help. He learned early on that sending a patient to the hospital was a death sentence. His troubles began after he spoke at a medical freedom rally at the state capitol in Olympia in May 2020, which resulted in over one hundred fifty complaints against him to the Washington Medical Commission. On October 12, 2021, his license was temporarily suspended because he was accused of spreading misinformation and violating the standard of care. The WMC then asked him to undergo an inpatient neuropsychiatric evaluation and pay them thirty thousand dollars. All because he chose to put patients ahead of the preferred COVID-19 narrative. Scott joined me to discuss his story.Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me to discuss the Volodymyr Zelensky meltdown at the White House and his thoughts on the Jeffrey Epstein Phase One file release misfire.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard to become the director of national intelligence in President Donald Trump‘s second-term administration.The Trump administration successfully negotiated the release of an American citizen and two other detainees held in prison in Belarus, and we found out who Trump traded for the release of Marc Fogel.Newsweek published a comparison this week of Trump's migrant deportation numbers compared to Biden's. (But it wasn't exactly an apples-to-apples comparison.)The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly “clawed back” the $59 million the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sent to house illegal aliens in New York City just last week. A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General revealed that the agency's mismanagement of funds and resources under Biden-selected FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell is possibly worse than previously imagined.Ron Edwards joined me to discuss the "Constitutional Crisis" caused by judges' overreaching into the Executive branch's powers.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Jen Gatien is a distinguished film producer who is releasing a documentary about Jordan Goudreau, a U.S. Army Green Beret whose story involves Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro, a plot to topple a socialist regime, and a delayed prosecution by the Biden Administration. Jen set out to tell the story of a veteran she thinks of as an American hero and discovered much about the "warrior" mindset. We discussed how the movie came about and what she hopes people will take from it.For America to have the Trump-promised golden age, it is essential for Trump and "Big Tech" (who seem to be playing nice for the moment) to work together in creating the necessary environment for profound innovation, which would ensure U.S. global leadership over China in tech, especially in the A.I. race. Paul Steidler, Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute, a leading conservative think tank, joined to discuss the Trump / Tech partnership and the importance of winning the race for global dominance over China.Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me for a discussion on the topics of the Reagan National air disaster; the Biden administration and the American Federation of Government Employees (the largest union of federal employees) signing a contract allowing the Department of Education to continue telework despite "return-to-work" orders; and what role the acknowledgment of new media played in the recent decisions of Jim Acosta and Chuck Todd choosing to leave their legacy media jobs. (Admittedly, Acosta was being moved to "the late shift," where Todd just decided to go, so it was not the same circumstance, but it was still a legitimate question.)Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

When Navy SEAL Jacob Carter accepts an experimental mission, he could never have imagined the spiritual odyssey awaiting him. That is the unforgettable journey of faith, action, and discovery that Shilo Creed introduces readers to Plunged - the first book in the Three Worlds Trilogy. Shilo joined me to discuss the inspiration for and what she hopes the impact will be for the readers of the book. Dr. James Thorp is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) and maternal-fetal medicine physician with over forty-four years of obstetrical experience and co-author of Sacrifice: How the Deadliest Vaccine in History Targeted the Most Vulnerable. Dr. Thorp joined me to discuss the book and why the outgoing Biden Administration has quietly extended a pandemic-era measure that protects COVID-19 "vaccine" makers from being sued for injuries or deaths. Ron Edwards, host of the Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me, and we talked about how Congress extended additional Social Security benefits to workers whose employers didn't pay fully into the fund; how California Governor Newsom's administration is planning to aid and abet criminals shifting California tax-payer dollars to "nonprofits" in an effort to shield illegal aliens from President-elect Donald Trump's forthcoming deportation efforts and themselves from legal consequences; and the latest scheme from the political left looking to use The Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 in an effort to steal the White House from Donald Trump.

With the escalation in the Ukraine / Russia conflict, we dedicate the first hour to discussing the latest. First, we are joined by educator, policy expert, and author Brandon J. Weichert. Brandon explains why, while things don't look good at the moment, there is good reason to believe that "the end is NOT nigh." Next, we are joined by Ken Crow of Crow's Nest Politics to talk about his take on why the escalation has occurred. In the second hour, we were joined by Ron Edwards, host of the Ron Edwards American Experience. Ron and I discussed his thoughts on Trump 2.0, and we talked about the sad custody battle being fought by Jeff Younger, which led us to talk about the evil targeting of children in the U.S. and around the world.

Richard V. Battle, award-winning best-seller author and political commentator, joined me to discuss how 14 states were significantly miscounted in the 2020 census, which could be more than enough to end with an erroneous Presidental election outcome due to the Electoral College having an incorrect number of delegates from various states; and how voting is supposed to be done via the Constitution and why that means you not only have the right to vote but certain responsibilities to fulfill. Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me to discuss Joe Biden's "Garbage" comment, the false claim that Trump called for the assassination of Liz Cheney, hope for the return of journalism, and Hugh Hewitt's storming off of a Washington Post Livestream event after two fellow columnists at the Post made false claims about former President Donald Trump and the 2024 election.

Are you tired of being misled and flat-out lied to about what is behind the Russian/Ukranian war? Brandon J. Weichert was, so he decided to call in his connections to get insider information, research the deep-running roots of the conflict, and then put his writing skills to work so that we all can know what he learned. Brandon joined me to discuss the conflict and his newest book, A Disaster of Our Own Making: How the West Lost Ukraine. Do you think it's time to "bring racial harmony to very fine people... on both sides?" A.J. Rice does so he doubled down on the message he brought you in his best-selling The Woking Dead, tapped into his unique literary voice and cutting humor, and penned his new best-selling hit, The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People…on Both Sides.

Are you tired of being misled and flat-out lied to about what is behind the Russian/Ukranian war? Brandon J. Weichert was, so he decided to call in his connections to get insider information, research the deep-running roots of the conflict, and then put his writing skills to work so that we all can know what he learned. Brandon joined me to discuss the conflict and his newest book, A Disaster of Our Own Making: How the West Lost Ukraine. Do you think it's time to "bring racial harmony to very fine people... on both sides?" A.J. Rice does so he doubled down on the message he brought you in his best-selling The Woking Dead, tapped into his unique literary voice and cutting humor, and penned his new best-selling hit, The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People…on Both Sides.

What do you do when you have your accounts removed by social media platforms and have your television show pulled from its broadcast platform for the crime of being an effective purveyor of conservative values while being a truth-teller who is more blunt than the sensitive snowflakes can tolerate? YOU KEEP FIGHTING FOR AMERICA. (And you write a book.) Josh Bernstein, host of Josh Bernstein Uncensored and author of Preserving Liberty: Bold and Brave Solutions to Save America and Create Permanent Freedom, joined me for an hour to discuss the book. In the second hour, Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me to discuss the data released this week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement showing that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. are known violent criminals and how the Democratic Party and especially Kamala Harris (along with tag-a-long Tim Walz) are entirely onboard with the Soros / Open Society Foundations' anti-America agenda.

Bernadette Anderson — a community leader, an outspoken advocate for African American civil rights in Minnesota, and a tough-love mother to many northside youth — was honored Friday afternoon with a renamed street in north Minneapolis.Bernadette Anderson Way now runs along Russell Avenue North between Plymouth Avenue North and 12th Avenue North. Anderson, who died in 2003, lived in the 1200 block of Russell.The block was blocked off from traffic on Friday for an event celebrating her life with family friends, and other community leaders.Minnesota Senate President Bobby Joe Champion said she also helped many local musicians when they were younger.“Her contributions are those that you enjoy right now today, when you think in terms of the greatness of Prince or even Andre Cymone, or the greatness of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,” Champion said. “When you think of that Minneapolis music sound, she was like the grandmother right, or the mother.”Anderson is musician Andre Cymone's mother, and Prince lived in her Russell Avenue house for a period of time in the mid-1970s. Champion said she is also the mother of the civil rights movement in Minneapolis. The civil rights leaders that often were covered by the mainstream outlets were men: Ron Edwards, Mahmoud El-Kati and Spike Moss. Anderson was well known in the community, but she didn't get much news coverage.Moss spoke to the gathered crowd.“I know no soldier like Bernadette from day one,” he said. Anderson thought those in the fight were out of their minds and needed to stop, Moss recalled.“I said to Bernadette, ‘Come on one march, one time, and maybe that'll change your mind. And when Bernadette stood up that first time, she never stopped fighting for you,” he said.Her activism was profound.“The door opened for Black teachers, Black principals, all the different things we fought for, to drive that bus, to be police, to be firefighters, everything you could think of fighting over working on the freeway,” Moss told the crowd.“This woman stood up for you, step by step, every time we turned around, she'd be one of the first to come and stand up on behalf of our people.”Moss himself was honored in July when the city renamed part of Plymouth Avenue north, Spike Moss Way. During his speech when he was honored, he said Anderson had also mentored him. Anderson's family gathered for the block part and each relative stood out. They each wore “Queen Bernie” t-shirts featuring a black-and-white picture of the honoree.Bernadette Anderson's third born — Patricia Anderson — said her mother empowered women in the community through her mother's YWCA programs.“My mother embodied the epitome of what the village mentality is, should be, and I pray continues on. We need more of the Bernadette Andersons,” she said.Anderson's grandson Cymon Payne and his wife Chandra were also at the celebration. Chandra remembers the soul food every Sunday at her house. Everybody was fed.“I'm asking my husband, shouldn't we give her some money? No, she had it. She had it all,” Chandra Payne said. Anderson was “just showing love with her cooking. She could throw down.”

An ancient tree from India is now thriving in groves where citrus trees once flourished in Florida, and could help provide the nation with renewable energy. As large parts of the Sunshine State's once-famous citrus industry have all but dried up over the past couple of decades due to two fatal diseases, greening, and citrus canker, some farmers are turning to the pongamia tree, a climate-resilient tree with the potential to produce plant-based proteins and a sustainable biofuel. For years, pongamia has been used for shade trees, producing legumes—little brown beans—that are so bitter wild hogs won't even eat them. But unlike the orange and grapefruit trees that long occupied these rural Florida groves northwest of West Palm Beach, pongamia trees don't need much attention. They don't need fertilizer or pesticides. They flourish in drought or rainy conditions. And they don't require teams of workers to pick the beans. A machine simply shakes the tiny beans from the branches when they're ready to harvest. Terviva, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2010, then uses its patented process to remove the biopesticides that cause the bitter taste, making the beans suitable for food production. The pongamia is a wild tree native to India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The legume is now being used to produce several products including Panova table oil, Kona protein bars, and protein flour. The legumes also produce oil that can be used as a biofuel, largely for aviation, which leaves a very low carbon footprint, said Ron Edwards, chairman of Terviva's board of directors. “It has one of the most dense energy per pound of refined oil that you can have.” Bees and other pollinators feast on the pongamia's flowers, supporting local biodiversity, Edwards said. An acre of trees can potentially provide the same amount of oil as four acres of soybeans, he added. What's left after the oil is removed from the pongamia bean is “a very high-grade protein that can be used as a substitute in baking and smoothies and all kinds of other plant-based protein products,” Edwards said. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
The mainstream legacy media is already working overtime to help Kamala distance herself from the policies of the Biden/Harris administration and the statements that she has made over the years when she ran for the Senate and when she previously ran (and failed) for the Democratic nomination for President. The most obvious example is the media's denial that Harris was ever appointed "Border Czar" by Biden. Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress so Harris and the elected Democrats beclown themselves to appease the pro-Hamas wing of the party, and protesters are allowed to vandalize federal monuments and take down American flags to burn them and fly the foreign (so-called Palestinian) flag. I discussed these issues and more with George Sinzer, host of FIREFOXNEWS ONLINE. J. D. Vance has been selected to be Trump's running mate, and so the political left and legacy media are working to turn him into a boogeyman who is just as "dangerous to our democracy" as the Orange Man who is bad. The Israeli parliament has voted to recognize the UNRWA as a terror organization. I discussed these topics with Ron Edwards, the host of The Ron Edwards American Experience show. Plus, I touched on possible V.P. picks for Harris and the joint Chinese/Russian bomber run off the coast of Alaska with both guests.

The Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, is making "quiet" moves with visits to the home of David Axelrod. Is she angling to replace Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket for the 2024 Presidential race? Jared Knott, author of Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters: Thirty-Nine Tiny Mistakes That Changed the World Forever, joined me to discuss the reports that Vladimir Putin is poised to launch anti-satellite nuclear weapons into space. Edward Bartlett, Founder of SAVE, an organization focused on fairness and due process on college campuses, joined me to discuss the Biden administration's intensified push to re-write Title IX and how the fight against it is not a political battle but a fight against evil. Ron Edwards joined me for the second hour, where we talked about Gretchen Whitmer, if she is looking to replace Joe Biden, and why she would be more dangerous than others that might be in play. We also discussed the release of evidence that District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade perjured themselves in testifying about the start date of their illicit affair. It's looking more and more like Fani Willis has broken the public trust and defrauded the taxpayers of Fulton County. https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support.Jared KnottTiny Blunders/Big Disasters: Thirty-Nine Tiny Mistakes That Changed the World ForeverSAVERon EdwardsBe ready when things go sideways.

If you're a gym owner who knows the power and how quickly selling PT can boost revenue- but has struggled to find, hire, or retain personal trainers to service high-ticket PT sessions (reliably)...Utilizing an OVERLAPPING PT can help you overcome these bottlenecks.The key to a long-term sustainable PT revenue stream is needing fewer employees that get paid much higher rates than your competitors (without sacrificing precious margins!).This is exactly how we helped:…Shannon Logan to reduce her gym from 11,000sq ft to 4,000sq ft while hitting all-time revenue records…Dan Clayton switched his entire 1:1 clientele over to overlapping (and doubled his price) to increase his hourly earning capacity from $30 to by 30x4x2 = $240!!…Ron Edwards to generate over a quarter million dollars in profit in a small, 2,500-square-foot fitness studio.Why am I sharing this?So that you know the information is the real deal and strategies we DO ourselves.If following our system has worked for us & hundreds of fitness professionals and gym owners, there is absolutely no reason why it can't work for you too.The problem with one-on-one PT is that you are limited to one trainer servicing one client at a time.There are only so many 4 pm, 5 pm, and 6 pm hours.And since most of your clients want the prime time hours in the morning and the evening- you need to hire more trainers to meet this demand continuously.The problem is that there aren't enough clients in the off-peak hours to fill up their schedules… and you're left under-employing your staff- not a good situation for anyone!).And- the people that want to pay for PT also value their TIME!Your client may want to work out at 5 pm on their way home instead of returning to the gym and training at 7:30 pm because that's the only time you have open.How long will they continue to do that when it interferes with their precious family or relaxation time?Overlapping PT is a win-win-win.The business owner wins because you'll make higher margins, and higher profits, and you'll need fewer but more highly paid trainers on staffThe personal trainer wins because they're making more money while working the same or fewer hours as they were before. More work gets done, and the energy is higher.The client wins because they get to come during the times that best fit their schedule and develop a sense of community and camaraderie with the 1-3 other people they see regularly.When I implemented High-Ticket Offers, combined with this Overlapping PT format that my partner Dave and I created- EVERYTHING changed for us instantly in August 2020.Nearly all the problems that kept me up at night changed overnight.All of my employees were making more money, working the same or fewer hours, and I no longer had a constant need to hire or a fear of losing employees because they couldn't make enough money.So if you've been looking for a better way to increase your revenue, profitability, and employee retention… without increasing the number of clients you work with…Listen to this episode!You can connect with Scott at https://www.instagram.com/coachscottcarpenter/ , Dave at https://www.instagram.com/coachdavebess/ , and Will at https://www.instagram.com/thenewagecoach/ When you are ready… Here are 4 ways we can help you:1.

June 10, 2022 — By 7:00 on Wednesday night, the Board of Supervisors had agreed 4-1 to put a tax on the November ballot to fund county-wide fire and water needs. The amount of the tax has not been decided yet, but the split will be 60% for fire and 40% for water. However, it would be a general tax, which typically goes straight into the general fund for no specified purpose and only requires a simple majority to pass. A special tax requires a two-thirds majority. County Counsel Christian Curtis gave the board some structural advice, saying that he could set up a general tax with an advisory body to give the board recommendations as to the best ways to use the funds. “I can't guarantee the use of funds in any particular manner, or it will become a special tax,” he cautioned. The advisory body the board discussed came out to eight representatives of diverse interests, including one tribal representative. There are ten tribal nations in Mendocino County. The tax is likely to be one of two that come before the voters in November. The Citizens' Committee for the Library Initiative has been campaigning since January to put a quarter-cent sales tax on the ballot, in part to pay for capital improvements like roof repairs. They wrote in a letter to the Board that they have already gathered over 4,000 signatures. Supervisor Dan Gjerde read from a five-point memo he started circulating over the weekend, arguing against the water and fire tax. “Voters in every corner of Mendocino County will question why they are being asked to pay a water sales tax, when the water sales tax is originating from, and is the brainchild of, water interests in one corner of the county who pay virtually nothing for their water,” he declared. “Today we have a united Board of Supervisors that politically and financially supports the efforts of the Potter Valley Irrigation District, the Inland Water and Power Commission, and others who are attempting to retain reasonable water diversion rights from the Eel River to Potter Valley and to Lake Mendocino. But this support has limits. A debate at this time over an imperfect and unwelcome sales tax will trigger devastating political division within Mendocino County…and a Board-sponsored sales tax will lose at the ballot. Question: after the inevitable loss at the ballot, will state and federal funders want to give state and federal grants to support any Eel River diversion or related projects? I'm doubtful.” He threatened to campaign against it if it was three-eighths of a cent, but left himself room to support it if it was a quarter cent and its advocates were “open and transparent.” He was dismayed that elected representatives in cities, where the majority of the tax will be collected, had not been consulted. Janet Pauli, of the Potter Valley Irrigation District and chair of the Inland Water and Power Commission, argued in favor of the tax. She said the IWPC is now facing the decommissioning of the Potter Valley Project, and an opportunity for a long-awaited feasibility study of raising Coyote Valley Dam. She assured the board that the interests she represents are not asking the county to pay for their water. “We are now bound by two federal processes that are out of our control, but to which we must react and be engaged, or we will not have a voice in directing the future of our water supply reliability in the Russian River basin in Mendocino County,” she told the Board. “I'm here to speak to these two critically important and urgent funding needs. We have a budget for our funding needs for IWPC. I can't address other drought-related water supply funding requirements in the county, or fire and emergency services funding needs. But it seems clear to me that between the droughts and fires we have recently experienced, we should be prioritizing fire and water funding needs… A request for funding by IWPC is not a forever tax. It is bridge funding to help us get the information we need to form a regional entity that will be able to self-fund a sustained revenue stream based on monetization of the water supply from the Potter Valley Project, used by the people who directly benefit from the water.” But some speakers were skeptical about the level of planning that had gone into the measure on the part of the board. Michelle Bisson Savoy, president of the Friends of the Ukiah Valley Library, said the library has done a needs analysis, which she implied was missing from the newest tax proposal. “We got together quite an army of volunteers and went out and got a lot of petitions,” she said. “And what we heard, over and over again, is that as long as it doesn't raise the taxes, people will be okay with it…you don't have your ducks all in a row here yet, as to what you're going to do with the water and fire money.” Some supporters of the water and fire tax argued that those needs are existential, while libraries are not. Detractors pointed out that a sales tax is regressive and hits poor people hard, while libraries offer an array of important free resources. A water lawyer quoted Abraham Lincoln and the Bible. Cannabis advocate Ron Edwards ranked the priorities, saying, “this is really the most important issue facing the county: fire and water. Yet the turnout is hard for you guys to really get a feel. When we were talking about expanding cannabis, you had two hundred speakers show up. And I don't know what it will take to get that kind of buy-in and feedback from the general public. I'm just pleading with the public to pay attention to help you guys make a decision, because this is way more important than the cannabis issue.” Union representative Patrick Hickey, who signed on to a letter asking the board not to compete with the library tax for votes, called for a middle way — while also pointing out the strong position of the libraries. Measure A, a 2011 library tax, won 75.66% of the vote. “We need to work together,” he stated. “We can't be fighting each other, because if we fight each other, both initiatives are going to fail.” SEIU Local 1021 has not taken a position on the issue yet, because the Board has not offered its final proposal, but Hickey's own proposal is to ask voters to approve a quarter cent sales tax that would be split between fire and water needs. “Friends of the Library will be submitting their signatures next week, and they have more than enough signatures to get it on the ballot,” he promised. The board has four days to publish its agenda for the next meeting. The item is due at the assessor clerk recorder's office by August 12.
May 19, 2022 — The Board of Supervisors considered proposing a sales tax to fund firefighting efforts and water projects this week. The Board cannot impose a tax, but it can draft an ordinance and put it before the voters on a ballot. In this case, the tax initiative would appear on the November ballot, which could also feature a quarter-cent tax initiative to fund the libraries. Measure B, the tax to fund mental healthcare facilities, is due to decrease from a half cent to an eighth of a cent this year. The Supervisors hope to make up the difference with the new tax, which Interim CEO Darcie Antle calculated would bring in about $7 million a year. “The Measure B tax that currently comes in on an average has been around $9 million a year,” she said. “If you start with the $9 million, the three-eighths is $7 million.” Supervisor Dan Gjerde told his colleagues he is not the voter who needs to be persuaded, but he's also not convinced the Board can sell it to a two-thirds majority of the electorate. “The voters are not going to rubber-stamp a tax that this Board of Supervisors puts on the ballot,” he cautioned. “I think we should approach this with some humility.” He reminded the Board of the referendum effort to collect signatures demanding that a new cannabis ordinance, Chapter 22.18, be rescinded. “It was likely to succeed at overturning that ordinance,” he recalled. The demand to rescind never made it to the ballot. Instead, the Supervisors, who had voted 4-1 with Supervisor John Haschak dissenting to pass the new ordinance, agreed to rescind it without a campaign fight. “I don't think we have the credibility to go to the voters and say, of all the ways that you can spend your tax dollars, this is the way,” Gjerde continued. He said he thinks there are good arguments to be made for funding water and fire services, but that he believes successful tax initiatives come from the electorate, like the volunteer library supporters, who are busy gathering signatures at all the usual venues. “I think they're the ones who are showing the way to do it,” he opined. “It's not by rounding up three or five votes on the Board of Supervisors, because that is a path to nowhere.” Ron Edwards, a cannabis advocate who keeps a close eye on the Board, suggested an argument. “Is this enough money?” he asked. “It seems like the need might be much greater…if you guys could dig into it deeply to find out exactly what the need would be, I think that would be a better sell for the public.” Supervisor Glenn McGourty thought the tax could have a lasting impact, just as the future of one legacy project is at its most uncertain. “What we're really going to need is to have the ability to study and be at the table, particularly with the Potter Valley Project,” he said. “What I'm hoping that we do is chart a path forward for the next hundred years. Because we've been living on about a hundred years of legacy decision-making in Mendocino County on water. And our time has literally run out. For instance, we've had all this wonderful free abandoned water from the Potter Valley Project, which has helped us fill Lake Mendocino and provided very inexpensive water for water users from here clear down to Marin.” One voter was in full support of the proposal. John Reardon, who sits on the boards of the Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District, as well as the Inland Mendocino County Water and Power Commission, told the board he supports using some of the tax revenue to sustain water supply reliability. “Inland Water and Power is in the middle of a battle to try and secure water through the Potter Valley Project,” he noted. Emily Tecchio spoke in support of the proposal, on behalf of the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council. “Something we have noted, as an organization, is that water for fire suppression is a huge need, and something that is pretty difficult to fund through other various mechanisms,” she told the Board. “So we hope that is considered as well.” Volunteer firefighters were on hand to make a case for their allocation, if the voters approve the tax. Dave Latoof is Chief of the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department and current president of the Mendocino County Fire Chiefs' Association. “They know I'm here,” he announced. He expects that most of the voters in his fire district, which straddles the Fourth and Fifth supervisorial districts on the coast, would support a tax that helps fund firefighters. “Please consider a generous amount to fire services,” he urged the Board. “Fire is very popular right now in this county. I think you can ride on that popularity, along with the water…you can't fight fire without water, but all the water in the world won't do any good without firefighters.” Gjerde cautioned that there are voters who will oppose the initiative, saying, “I probably have voted against a few taxes, but probably pretty rarely…when it takes a two-thirds, the person who votes no has twice the voting power as the person who votes yes.” The Board agreed that Supervisor Ted Williams will work with staff to flesh out the particulars of allocating the tax to fire, while McGourty will take on the details about water. An initial draft of the item will return to the full board on June 8th.
