What candidates are being helped by this? People need to know the specific candidates in step with this!

Ms. Barton, could not agree with you more! All this “feel good happy talk” about childrens’ services is just a smokescreen for another local government grab at our wallets. I can hear the closed-door elected officials’ conversations now:
“We’re running out of ways to raise taxes without angering the already angry Tallahassee-Leon County citizens – what can we do?”
“I know – we’ll concoct some new nice-sounding program promising to do some sort of good for children – it’s hard for anyone to argue as long as we put “Children” in the program title!”
And thus is created a new “taxing authority” with as yet no clear-cut, well-defined, specific goals and limitations.
Voila – we just got our taxes raised again!

Taxpayer money is better spent by actually addressing the root social problems that create most childrens’ problems, as Colleen points out: Changing or re-educating the culture and welfare-fueled lifestyle that has destroyed many communities. You know – the culture of absentee fathers and unmarried mothers (sometimes having children with multiple fathers). Now if the “Childrens’ Services” goup has the specific goal of changing that culture in mind, they should loudly publicize it and state the specific details of how they intend to accomplish it. Then we citizens might think the additional money confiscated from our pockets might actually do some good.

BINGO.

And don’t forget the treasurer connection.

Let’s focus on voting the children out of office and electing some adults.
Then we can determine if more taxes for warm/fuzzy feel-good questionable schemes subject to enriching crooked politicians, their family’s, local Reverends – and usual suspects are appropriate.
Do not accept this as a done deal at this point of the game.
I really feel the leftists see the writing on the wall and are trying to snatch and grab as much of your money as they can before we vote them out of office.
Too bad we can no longer run them out of town on a rail with tar and feather adornment like in olden times!!!
But at least we have air conditioning now.

…or not.
