It's the unions that won't live within the means that the public can reasonably provide.
I don't know of a business that isn't cutting exoenses. That being said, it's extremely rare for a town budget to decrease from year to year, it almost never happens.

Property taxes going up has been well discussed in the grumpy old farts forum, I believe you contributed to that discussion?
We'll say joe bob's property taxes were 1500, and in
6 years went up to 3000.
If he can't afford that, there's something wrong with him. Not the town.
I'm amazed at the number of people so quick to blame their financial woes on everyone but themselves.
Why hasn't joe bob looked for a better job?
Why hasn't joe bob bettered himself (whether it be via schooling or some other means) in that 6 years to either get paid more or find a better job?
