PAPIO NRD HALL OF SHAME.


PAPIO NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT                             HALL OF SHAME
Taxpayers often complain about public officials raising our taxes, but few take the time or effort to find out precisely which officeholders raise our taxes and spend our tax dollars recklessly.  Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom is publicizing the names and mug shots of elected and appointed officials in local taxing authorities who vote against the interests of taxpayers.             *                                                           *                                                           *                                   *
On May 9, only 3 Papio-Mo. River Natural Resources District board members, Curt Frost, Scott Japp, and Dave Klug, voted for taxpayers, against a resolution to issue a $42.6 million bond (paid back by property taxes) to raise money for an unneeded dam in northwest Douglas County.  NTF and the Papio Valley Preservation Comm. both lobbied actively against this bond issue, favoring instead low impact development that would cost much less.  The following 8 NRD Board members we nominated to the Taxpayers Hall of Shame:   

Fred Conley                                       John Conley                       Rich Tesar                          Jim Thompson    

Patrick Leahy                                    Tim Fowler                         Patrick Bonnett*                   Ron Woodle

*the board member who campaigned with the slogan “I will provide responsible stewardship of taxpayer funds…”

Keep this sheet and vote against these 8 board members on Election Day!
