Tom O'Donnell is selling us out.

"We will keep tweaking this to make the formula more beneficial to Gary," Clay said.

Tom O'Donnell is in favor of an income tax. He was only against the tax because of the distribution formula. He held out to get the distribution formula changed to one that benefits his constituents more.

But that distribution formula is not beneficial to Mayor Clay or north county. It is Mayor Clay's priority to get the formula changed.

You can see from the above quote that Mayor Clay is going to get the formula changed. He has 4 votes on the council to do so.

What's going to happen is O'Donnell is going to switch his vote, we'll get the COIT, and some time next year the distribution formula will be changed to benefit north county and screw south county.

This whole system is garbage.

I still hold out home that we can bouce Smith from the Council and they can't have the final vote by the end of the year.
