- - Whoops!!! - -
Tomorrow when you receive your ballot at your voting place, and you look,
and look, and look for that Proposition #1 that
everybody has been shouting and waving signs about, but..
an Important Point of Clarification! ..... ........ you Won't Find it! ?!?
It is Labeled Differently on the
Ballot, and the words; Proposition #1 do not
appear anywhere.
It is Going to Look like this on your ballot:====================================================================================== City of Louisville Economic Development Program Shall the City of Louisville adopt an economic development program, pursuant to Nebraska Statutes 18- 2701 through 18-2738, which (a) limits expenditures to 50% and (b) specifies the type of economic development purposes, for which the sales and use tax revenues may be expnded on economic development for the duration of the existing 1% City sales tax, and appropriating annually from the local sales and use tax a maximum of $70,000.00 per year for use in economic development? A vote FOR will result in adopting the economic development plan. A vote AGAINST will result in not adopting the economic development plan. For Against Quoting one of our active Community Leaders; ....but it's frustrating to those of us who have campaigned for this thing under a different name. We are concerned that voters will be confused by the different listing.... Please don't be confused, and help your neighbors to be aware of what to look for. It will be worth it to go this extra distance for the good of our Community. Tomorrow vote FOR : City
of Louisville Economic Development Program
(the proposition formerly know as Proposition #1)
Send a copy of this to your neighbors and friends and lets make sure nobody is confused by this!

An Attractive Proposition.... Position Statement on Proposition 1 from a Main Street Business Guest Editorial - B.U.I.L.D. Member - Maureen Gulizia In November 2000, the voters in the city of Louisville
approved a 1% city sales tax, the proceeds of which are to be spent on
street repair and economic development. To date nearly $109,000.00 has been
collected. This Plan is on the November ballot as Proposition #1 It is the intent of the City Council to implement an Economic Development Plan with the following general purposes and goals: 1.) Create high-paying, quality jobs by generating employment opportunities and expanding the available workforce within the labor market of Louisville; 2.) Attracting new capital investment to the community; 3.) Broadening the tax-base to alleviate reliance on property taxes; 4.) To provide economic diversification to ensure economic stability and vitality for Louisville, Cass County and the State of Nebraska as a whole.

Good PropositionPosition Statement on Proposition 1 from a Main Street Business Guest Editorial - B.U.I.L.D. Member - Mark Leibman The ballot on November 5th includes a remarkable piece of progress called Proposition 1. It simply adopts an Economic Development Plan, and specifies and limits the uses of city sales tax dollars which are already being collected. Voters can complete the work begun in November 2000 when the sales tax was authorized. The Plan is available for inspection at the City Office. The goals of the Economic Development Plan are to enhance our ability to compete for new and expanded businesses in order to provide more jobs, a broader tax base, and greater economic stability for the community. (If you are keeping score at home, mark these down as “good things.”) Other communities have active economic development efforts, and to some extent, Louisville has to keep up in order to compete. Although we are blessed with favorable geography and location, Proposition 1 gives us the additional tools we need. In a perfect world, Economic Development would not be necessary. As we look around us and see what other communities are doing, it is evident that we need to be in the game. Proposition 1 gets us there, so I’m voting for it and I hope you do, too. Mark Leibman

Critical Proposition....Position Statement on Proposition 1 from a Louisville Business Assistant Editor - B.U.I.L.D. Member - John Harrington As I look around at all the wonderful changes that have taken place in our home town over the last 6 years, I feel very indebted to the people that have worked so hard and given their best. Chairman McManis, Mayor Henry and all those that have served with these folks should be very proud of where we are today. Proposition 1 helps define the future and take some control of our economic future. Support the kind of thoughtful planning that we are
proud of today, and we can plan on being even prouder tomorrow.
Vote YES
next Tuesday for Proposition #1

What the Cat Saw...
I have the best job in town it seems. I just let folks pat me on the head and flick my tail and as long as the moles hold out, we all eat pretty good! Well, maybe this Proposition 1 will help the mole population increase, and keep folks comin in. I kinda like it down here, south of the river, maybe I should vote "pro mole!" ...course there still is that problem about no opposable thumb... Having fun, and Voting for Moles south of the river....
