Proposed Budget Saves Jobs and Bus Service
Tuesday,

These types of articles keep addressing the fact that the city is so poor due to the property tax situation. However on the flip side I didn’t see any great increase in social services and beatification a few years ago when our property and house values and tax rates where having some of the largest increases in the nation. If the city/county/state/country are really so concerned why they don’t give up their health and pension plans to save jobs and continue services. If they don’t want to pay for my health and retirement, than I really don’t want my taxes paying for theirs either. I thought the definition of a public servant was to serve the public taking care of and protecting our needs, instead of leeching and threatening the loss of social services to protect their salaries and benefits. After all everyone in the private sector is pretty much below bare minimum and being forced to leave this state.
