Hold the line on spending, then start cutting taxes! Certain council members need to start acting like Republicans instead of Democrats!

The people that live here and have lived here for most of their lives have seen taxes go up and little, if any, improvement to their pay checks and general living. You cannot continue to borrow from one account to help pay another. If the money isn’t there than well your out of luck.

Also we cannot continue to pay pensions. Why not set up 401k’s and let employees fund their own retirement. If we can make budgets in our own families and live by them, why cant local and Federal governments do the same. I for one am sick and tired of funding everyone eles retirements and living above their means. Stop making excuses, sit back and get the books in order. Really its not that diffucult.

As for the jails, how about you make it alot harder while their in there and maybe they wont want to be there. NO Tvs, NO games, NOTHING that makes life in there relaxing. We the people of this county will continue to re-elect and get rid of those who refuse to do the right thing.

Throwing money at problems is not always the best method to resolve problems. Instead of dealing with the results of the problems we should try to eliminate the issues. I am certain there are ways to streamline processes in these organizational groups.
As a business consultant, I very rarely go into a business that is not able to become more efficient by streamline processes though technology or a change in procedure.
