[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No wonder they're jamming through a gigantic 10% property tax increase:

But it it doesn't sound like things are going to get better. Should people in MoCo expect even more tax increase over the next few years since it looks like govt spending is exploding and this kind of council/exec has shown no signs of reining in finances and cutting spending? [/quote]

Whiners: MoCo is going down the tubes! Bad infrastructure! Bad schools!

Also whiners: Oh nos, they want to spend money! But my taxes![/quote]

Imagine not being able to figure out they more spending =/= better services, especially when it is all spent on tons of garbage govt bloat, increasing salaries, and is all down with little oversight or accountability.  And that's all on top of increasing spending using veeeeeery generous projections for revenue that are probably completely outside of the realm of reality.

It means more deficits/problems with the budget, which we all know means more tax hikes because they can't grow the economy nor are cutting spending. And there is no accountability in place to actually measure improvements in outcomes due to increased spending.[/quote]
