  • Campaign Tactic Stirs Controversy 
    Reported by: Mike Landis

    Dee Dee Squires is used to getting "Robo-Calls" during election times, but the latest one she received is stirring up controversy.

    The message came from the group leading the campaign against the levy, Citizens Against Forever Tax.

    It claimed the initiative would raise your taxes by a thousand dollars.

    However, according to officials, that amount is far from correct.

    Officials say the average resident, with a $100,000 home, would see about a $120 increase per year.

    It's a far cry from a thousand dollars.

    Citizens Against Forever Tax did not return our calls to defend their math.
