The county I live in is facing a huge budget crisis due to falling home values and lower sales tax revenue. They want us to allow them to raise the tax rate so they do not have to cut back funding to: schools, parks, libraries, fire, human services, and other front line local services.

If this was happening to your home town would you recomend that they raise taxes or cut back on these local services?
The waste and fraud have been cut out in the last few tough years. There is now only meat. Your choice is one or the other. New taxes or service cutbacks.
