Greenville County Tax and Spend Lobby Wins First Round
- Details

A voting majority of Greenville County Council has made it clear that they will vote June 3, 2014, to place a $678 million sales tax increase referendum on the ballot in November. Council voted seven to three in favor of the referendum on 2nd reading. There is no reason to believe the vote will change.
Advocates of the sales tax increase have developed their strategy over many months. They are well-organized, well-financed and have hired professionals to market the plan to voters. The promoters have earned the unenviable label “sales tax pimps” from tax increase opponents who resent the methods being used to redistribute wealth from taxpayers to special interest projects, using as an excuse a need to repair state highways rather than insisting that the state use road tax money to repair their highways.

“If we lose Freedom Here, We have no place to go”
Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of United States Senator Ted Cruz attended the American Renewal Project at the Greenville Hilton as guest speaker Friday. The purpose of the conference was to encourage pastors to stand up! return to their church and mobilize their people in the pews to register, to vote and to take their Christian convictions with them to the voting booth.
Pastor Cruz placed the blame for our current problems squarely on the men who have been hiding behind their pulpits. “When Bibles and prayer was removed from schools, they did nothing. When the Supreme Court allowed killing of millions of babies in the womb, they did nothing. When the Ten Commandments were removed from the public square, they did nothing. Tyranny prevails when good men do nothing.”
