[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A joke of a public transit system, especially for the capital city of the U.S.;

An incompetent tax office that steals money out of bank accounts instead of issuing owed refunds;

An "emergency parking" system that is basically never enforced;

No traffic police while we have increasingly dangerous roads and hordes of people riding illegal motorcycles everywhere;

Litter and trash everywhere and apparently no solution;

A huge rat problem (reported in numerous sourced this week);

A zoning board that can't be bothered to prevent eyesores or dangerous non-permitted flips;

A 911 system that is so bad multiple people have died because emergency responders went to the wrong address or didn't show up at all;

A seeming inability to do anything about spiking crime rates.

What do our tax dollars do, again?[/quote]

The obvious ones are:

One of the lower tax burdens in the country despite 45% of the property in DC being exempt from property tax

Annual tax receipts that exceed forecasts and trigger automatic tax reductions

A national model for early child education and for charter schools

A long-term reduction in crime and increase in property values

A local economy that has outperformed the rest of the country despite the largest employer (Fed Govt) employing fewer people now than it did in 1980
