#TaxationByCitation is a scourge. A practice where cities hungry for revenue treat citizens as ATMs—using fines & fees to prop up bloated budgets. It breaks down trust between people & their gov’t & their courts. I’ve been fighting it for years - now there’s a new front.#moleghttps://twitter.com/stlpublicradio/status/1223024853005086724 …

Treating citizens as nothing more than ATMs is wrong. That’s why today I filed a lawsuit against the city of Marshfield for creating & employing an illegal traffic ticket quota scheme. I’ve made it clear:

The Mayor says that this isn't about revenue, but we all know that it is. She's trying to sell the airport for revenue. She's looking at every nook and cranny for revenue.

Proud of
#moleg efforts to end#TaxationByCitation and stop municipalities from using their citizens as ATMs. As the House handler of SB5, I saw certain municipalities fight this at every step. However, the results speak for themselves https://twitter.com/AGEricSchmitt/status/1111389361080168448 …

Our work to limit the amount of revenue some profiteering cities receceived from

FYI - a bureaucrat from a city that has gotten used to projecting more and more revenue for the next fiscal year from traffic tickets and fines doesn’t represent the interests of the people.

#taxationbycitation was wrong then and it is wrong now. Employers won’t want to locate or grow in places where local gvt sees residents as ATMs. Munis can find better ways to fund their services. cc:@Eric_Schmitthttps://twitter.com/gilbertbailon/status/979370740519759872 … -
