The politicians would have us believe that if property taxes are capped that it's the end of the world. They'll have to lay off police and fire, there won't be any teachers....and so on.
BULLSHIT. I saw the VERY same arguments against Measure 5 in Oregon when the Oregon voters decided to reign in high property taxes.
It was going to be blood in the streets! They would have to lay off teachers and cops and firefighters.
Guess what happened? You're right. Nothing. They had to quit wasting so much money for a couple of years.
Your city Government should first fully fund Fire and Police. That's their primary duty. Then they can start on the small stuff.
