Funny how the county isn’t cutting any social services. It is just cutting the important stuff. Must be their way of punishing the voters for not agreeing to more tax hikes.

McCleans=lefty magazine, same one that dragged Mark Steyn into P.C. lawsuit.

Another attempt to blame Reagan/Bush for all problems.

Will any major publication do an audit of how much of the taxdollars are spent on extravegant salaries, health benefits and retirements of public employees driving municipalities into bankruptcy? There's lots of money going into the coffers....where is it being spent?

That is the typical MO, supported by self-perpetuating rules, grants from the feds and state, contingent on certain things.

Olde fashioned zero based budgeting in government would be fascinating, and could save a lot of money, if conducted with an open mind.

This is how I always imagined the Feds doing it. They would cut the items that are the most necessary first, but keep the stupid s%!T like foreign aide to the middle east, and art institutions that put crosses in urine.
