Comment on America’s Great Outdoors Comes to Nashville! by Steve

Vote for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park below and pass it
along…..
There is a contest going on right now for a $100,000 grant from the
Coca Cola company for America ‘s Favorite Park !

Great Smoky Mountains National Park held the lead for a long while, but
now we are being heavily outvoted by a state park
in Minnesota . I know there are enough people who love the Smokes to win
this, but I don’t believe that many people are aware
of the contest. This contest runs until August 31, 2010 and people may
vote as many times as they wish until then.

The website for the contest is:

These tax dollars are only taken when property changes hands; it is NOT a tax that everyone pays. The Real Estate Transfer Tax was set up 20+ years ago to preserve some of Tennessee’s best lands while development continues to take over our state. For the past 7+ years, the taxes have been collected as they were set up, but the conservation funds have NOT gone to their intended purpose. It’s this “bait & switch” mentality that we are against. If the state is going to tax us and use the money for a specific purpose, then they should use those tax dollars for that specific purpose.

If you want conservation funding do it your self, stop trying to spend my tax money for me and other Tennesseans because you think it might be a good ideal
