Where your Decatur Representative Stands: The City Council voted 3-2 to approve a sales and use tax of 2 cents per dollar on retail, 0.5 percent on automotive dealers and 0.75 percent on industrial manufacturers, all effective April 1. The tax on industries applies to items purchased or sold that don’t go directly into the production process.  On Jun 5th, the Council voted to reduce the PJ to 1.5 miles to maintain the majority of planned taxation without representation while minimizing the burden on Police & Fire services.

Why Mr Jackson, Mr Anders, Mr Hammon & Mr Ard are acting as tyrants towards County Residents:

Americans rejected the Stamp Act of 1765 brought in by British Prime Minister George Grenville, and violently rejected the remaining tax on tea imports, under the Tea Act passed in May 1773, at the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. The Parliament considered this an illegal act because they believed it undermined the authority of the Crown-in-Parliament. When the British then used the military to enforce laws that the colonists believed Parliament had passed illegally, the colonists responded by forming militias and seized political control of each colony, ousting the royal governors.

The complaint was never officially over the amount of taxation (the taxes were quite low, though ubiquitous), but always on the political decision-making process by which taxes were decided inLondon, i.e. without representation for the colonists in British Parliament.

Patrick Henry's resolution in the Virginia legislature implied that Americans possessed all the rights of Englishmen, that the principle of no taxation without representation was an essential part of the British Constitution, and that Virginia alone had the right to tax Virginians.

As residents of Morgan County, we firmly defend that Decatur City has no moral authority to tax those whom live in the PJ and that those politicians who support the PJ and PJ tax are guilty of theft by other means.
