[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is going to be moving out of a county funded as well as Montgomery has the potential of being.

If anything, they'll have to limit people moving IN. [/quote]

This logic is what got Moco into the mess it's currently in.  You end up attracting people who are interested in partaking in the social service amenities because it's possible to partake more than you put in.  This unsustainability is unattractive to many people who have the means to contribute a significant portion of funding for the social services.  You can't assume the majority of UMC families like subsidizing so much.  It doesn't work if you have a low tax jurisdiction across the river people can easily move to and still be in the area.  This is absolutely the opposite direction and the current climate is the product of this.  There needs to be a balance between amenities and taxes...too far in one direction and you will get a net movement of people out.  [/quote]
