[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s not excess revenue- it is a tiny portion of the full budget (about 2%) that means fairfax did a great job with its budgeting and didn’t run out of money. As for budget cuts, commercial real estate revenues have declined. They raised real estate taxes last year and made budget cuts. They need to make more cuts this year. They’re looking at additional taxes that they have the power to do (they don’t have a lot of revenue raising tax options), like a meals tax, and the same Great American Restaurant group that killed the meals tax last time is already agitating against it. If you don’t want a nature center cut, OP, become a vocal supporter of the meals tax and hotels tax. [/quote] or the council could prioritize things tax payers care about instead of spending money to attract people who will never pay taxes [/quote]
