No new taxes. It's time that cuts be made or the school system and other government agencies learn to live within their means. I have to live on a budget and they should have to also.
Every time you turn around, everyone is hollering "raise the property taxes." I, for one, have had enough. If this continues I will look outside this city for another residence.
If you want to be fair, do a $25 or $30 wheel tax, at least then you get everyone, not just the property owners. We are tired of carrying the load by ourselves.
I say vote out anyone who votes for new taxes. I know that will determine who I cast my vote for next election.

James,
I’m with you 100%. As my father always said, “ it's easy to spend someone else’s money”. The problem is most of the people in administrative positions asking for more money couldn’t run a lemonade stand successfully.
