  1. There’s a big cult headquarters in my town. I would take away their “religious” tax exempt status. They own so much property!

  2. I’d increase funding for education (teachers salaries, classroom supplies and resources, funding for building and field trips and experts to visit) The funding can come from the other two changes

  3. I would put a huge tax on any homes where the owners of the home are not the primary/full time occupants. This is a big tax on private equity firms that buy houses, second homes owned by out of towners, and landlords. Our community will benefit from citizens who are fully committed to our town and single home owners should have an advantage in our housing market.

  1. Term limits, the same 3 families have been running my town for 40 years.
  2. a bypass, we’re a very small town with a huge tourist industry, and the township refuses to approve a bypass because it would divert traffic away from the tourist trap, regardless of the fact that it takes half an hour to cross a town with a single traffic light.
  3. investment of the tax money into the community. Again, we have a huge tourist industry and a shit ton of money comes into town from it, yet our roads are absolutely terrible, half the town doesn’t have sidewalks, and honestly I don’t know where any of the money goes.

  1. Make all local utilities city-owned (including internet access as a utility).

  2. Make all city employees part of a municipal employees union (opt-out available)

  3. Require all legal judgments against the police department to be paid out of their pension fund.

Is this lah lah land where I can pass any law I want locally without it being superseded by state or fed? Then

1.recreational pot is now legal with 32 plant homegrow limit

  1. Psylocibin mushrooms are now legal and can be sold wherever alcohol, tobacco, and weed are sold including state run stores

  2. HOAs are outlawed, you can now do whatever the fuck you like with your own properties and not pay yet another yearly fee to an at-best-incompentent-at-worst-malicious burocracy. I have to deal with enough of those already

No income properties for single family homes. Punishable by jail.

Companies will now have their minimum pay decided by majority vote for up to 70% of the previous year’s profit divided by the number of people employed and companies are decommissioned when they’re found to exploit people in large scale.

People have to give me specifically a blowjob on request. I mean universal basic income. That.

  1. All zoning and appearances laws banned unless it is by direct vote supermajority, over 66% of registered voters vote yes for it, and it has to be on the ballot when it is not November.

  2. No evictions or plea bargains without a jury trial with no legal way to wave that right.

  3. No business may garnish the pay of an employee for student loan or medical debt. Likewise no bank. Failure to do obey will result in a special tax on said business equal to double the amount taken.
