John Ford: Instead of new city tax - cut spending substantially Writer doesn't think that things are so bad that we have to merge city and county governments just yet. After budget cuts, he would go along witha tax increase, not a NEW Tax but a tax increase. By John Ford writes: I agree Ralph most are afraid to give their opinion, I also agree that we spend too much in totally unnecessary places and didn't make needed cuts when they would have made a larger difference. We have been on a serious downhill slide recently, but you can't just keep raising taxes to pay for it. I don't think things are so bad that we have to merge city and county governments just yet but they are heading in that direction. What I find distasteful is the idea that raising taxes is the only option...ever heard of budget cuts. At a time when the whole country is having to tighten their belts, the city seems to be letting theirs out . Cut spending (substantially) and I will go along with a tax increase...not a NEW tax but a tax increase. - - John FordComments re article 69682 Agrees mostly with Dr Ben Arnold on The Payroll Tax jobs This story was posted on 2014-09-11 15:09:29
