The Front Page

The front page of today's Lompoc Record. The county split is an interesting proposition.

North County is the red-headed stepchild of Santa Barbara County. Tax money is siphoned down to the South coast where it is spent on things that North County residents don't ever see. That is what fuels the drive for a split.

Rotten part is, that to the best of my knowledge, the only feasibility study thats been done showed that residents of the new county will pay more in taxes than they do under the current set up.

Some choice.
