That is the problem,increase expenditures. This government keeps spending! Just look at the 5 million dollar increase this year. On top of the 50% increase in county debt in the past year. Very easy to spend other peoples money. The commercial rate is going up, so get ready to pay more! Just remember Moore=More(Taxes, Debt and Fees)

If revenues don’t equal expenditures, the General Fund (every taxpayer – not just those who use the landfill) has to pay for those expenditures.

I already pay for my trash to be picked up. Do you? If landfill fees don’t increase, do you think it’s fair that I have to subsidize your trash pick up? I certainly don’t.

You forgot to mention the large percentage increase in landfill fees and the fact that money is being moved from that enterprise fund to the wastewater fund, how convenient! No matter the mechanics of taxation, if more money is taken from a taxpayer, it’s a tax increase. I am surprised that you as a Patriot continue to defend Tari Moore, who has grown government and increased spending, debt, taxes and fees.
