lottery

jtdavisOld Faithful

I've been reading about Gov Bentley calling for a special session to have a vote on a lottery to mainly help Alabama's general fund. Alabama has an income tax, but instead of increasing tax on those who have the ability to pay more, he wants a lottery to help the poor pay more. My advice is, from someone who lives in a state without an income tax, vote it down so the Alabama money spent in Tennessee on the lottery will keep helping my grandkids pay for college. Also, don't believe the property tax stories. I have a plot of land in Alabama that appraises at $15,000, I can't sell it for $10,000 and I pay $164 property tax to Alabama. Tennessee rates are not that high. BTW, this land is 1/2 mile from the school.
