A Sneaky Scheme to Raise Our Taxes is Underway!
DO NOT SIGN Their Petition!
A dangerous, legally binding petition is circulating around our neighborhood. If it gets enough signatures, we can’t stop it – we’ll be obligated to pay more taxes.
What is Being Proposed?
A petition to incorporate the City of Eastwood and raise our taxes.
What Does that Mean?
It’s a legal document. If the petition gets enough signatures, a new layer of government, funded by NEW TAXES ON US, will be created. Our community will start paying more taxes IN ADDITION to what we already pay. SIGNING THIS PETITION IS A VOTE FOR HIGHER TAXES, GUARANTEED.
Will My Community Benefit from More Taxes and Big Government?
Ever hear the joke "we’re from the government and we’re here to help?” Big Government proponents aren’t being honest with you. The true costs of their big government petition will be astronomical. Don't be fooled - if you sign, you will pay more. A LOT MORE.

FACT: Get a lawyer on the phone! This couldn’t be more important. If the “more taxes” people get enough signatures, there is no way to stop the process. We’ll simply get a bill for new taxes. Your signature obligates all of us to a future of more government and higher taxes.
-
FACT: There are already plenty of ways for you to influence the direction of our community: HOAs, Metro Council, State Legislature, etc. There is no shortage of government already; don’t sign up to pay for more.
-
FACT: This is FALSE. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
HOA Fees won’t go away! Is Eastwood the same as Polo Fields? Is the Overlook the same as Copperfield? Nope, so we’ll all still have HOA fees to preserve our own nook of the community. These new taxes will go right on top of it and they can be raised every single year. If someone tells you there won’t be new taxes or fees, they are LYING about their sneaky scheme.
-
FACT: Have you seen the proposed area? It’s huge – more than 20 square miles to be exact. Other incorporated communities have massive police budgets...significantly more expensive than what is being promised. You will not be given personal security or much of an increased police presence beyond what we already have. We will, however, get a bill in the mail for new taxes to pay for yet another layer of government. Just say no.

FACT: We agree; it is scary to think that some people in our community are trying to trick us into paying for higher taxes and more government. That’s why we are getting the truth out about this sneaky scheme to raise taxes on East End residents. Don’t fall for it!
