[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Public education is THE major thing that localities are responsible for.[/b] Lots of our roads are state highways. The state, not the county, pays to maintain them. Lots of other services are also state run or state funded. The courts are state agencies and funded by the state even though they are "county" courts. The state has steadily been shifting responsibility for school funding to the counties over the last decades, most significantly responsibility for pensions. So yes, it can still be half the budget and not the priority it needs to be.[/quote] No, that's factually incorrect. Public education is the single largest budget item - that would be true. But transportation, public safety, public health, environmental protection, and government services like libraries, permitting, parks are also major things. [/quote]
