Here's a "tax fairness" question I like to hear some opinions on. The news today is full of municipal gov. employees either losing their jobs or taking unpaid furloughs due to local budgets in the red. The municpality where I work has already gone through a couple of rounds of cuts and there's really nothing left to cut but people. Residents have never passed a Prop.2 1/2 override yet they still want their public safety, trash pick-up, roads plowed and repaired,small class sizes, etc. Do you feel it's right for a community to "balance the books" on the shoulders of municipal employees rather than have residents "pay their share" for the services they receive with a relatively small RE tax increase.?
