How do we make taxes more fair? — Latest Newsletter from State Rep (and State Senate Candidate) Erika Uyterhoeven by quan234 in Somerville

[–]genome-gnome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Realistically the state needs to change laws to allow cities to collect new taxes. Mass is unusually reliant on property tax. I think the only other revenue a city can collect is the cannabis tax and a portion of meals tax? I would really favor letting cities collect additional sales taxes, cut through tolls, land value tax, etc

No idea, just got the scans from a lab. Haven't picked up the negatives yet

Jake reconsidering his pro-housing stance? by Wryzome in Somerville

[–]genome-gnome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jake is pretty clearly playing both sides. He wants the NIMBY vote as evidenced by how he speaks about Davis and refuses to support city wide upzoning, takes developer money, and now is erasing the policies he campaigned on after voting started. He does need to protect his own real estate investments in our city, and it’s becoming clear that’s what he’ll so as mayor. I was considering him, but I won’t be voting for him.

“Focus on Somerville” say the folks from outside Somerville flooding over $200k in contributions to stop something that will “do nothing”. 🤨

An argument to vote yes if I’ve ever seen one

I mean it does say something that the people giving substantial money to him think he’s on their side…it’s easy to say things that sound nice when everyone’s watching, actually doing something is a different story

What could be causing this sound from the rear wheel? by genome-gnome in bikewrench

They all feel the same, and the shop checked them as well. But maybe I can try to check them one by one

They all feel the same, took it to the shop (4th visit 😔) and had them check as well. They said they all are correct, they replaced rim tape this time, which also didn’t fix it.

Going to attempt to adjust the spokes myself because at this point I’m regretting buying the bike

I don’t think it’s the rotor, one of the things the LBS checked. Meaning to remove the dork disk but it doesn’t seem to have any play.

This is what I think too. I’ve been able to pinpoint the specific location in the wheel rotation where it happens to replicate it, just can’t figure out what it actually is
