No, I wasn't starting an argument on who pays taxes and the fairness involved. I want to know why my county needs 30% more revenue to cover costs when my property value goes up 30%. Since they obviously cannot predict these massive increases they could not have budgeted for them. So here they sit with 30% more cash than they claimed they needed. Where does it go and/or how can they justify spending it?

Don't get me wrong, there is obviously some rhetoricasl stuff in there and I know damn well they'll spend it on something"important", but the model is what pisses me off. It should be:

Projected expenses are: $xxxxx

Therefore taxes will be: $xxxxx


NOT


Projected expenses are: $xxxxx

Therefore taxes will be: as much as we can get regardless of need.
