[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. In its insatiable search for more and more taxes, it will just create more opportunity for the mayor to provide favored consulting contracts to her cronies and for a couple of far left members on the DC Council to further boost social benefit levels significantly above the levels provided by neighboring jurisdictions. And then they wonder why social services needs keep rising in the District.[/quote] We have a balanced budget and the country’s highest municipal credit rating, dipsh#t. [/quote] Only thanks to the controls put in place by the Federal control board. If it hadn’t been for that, DC still would be in deep-doo Barryville. Recently the DC auditor, however, cautioned that spending proposed by the mayor and some of the council would significantly weaken DC’s financial position and undermine its present credit rating.[/quote]
