[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 596860, member: 8978"] The thing that bugs me about these darned municipal/county governments is their attitude about spending. In my county the money was rolling in as the oil/gas companies were punching holes as fast as they could...and the county was blowing it as fast as they could! New monstrosity of a county office, new trucks, cell phones, laptops for all the boys working there. Big hiring binge...even the secretaries had secrataries! Then things got a bit slow. So did they cut back? Nope! Just cracked up the taxes and raised all the permit fees. Now if the county was a business, or a household....what would they do? How about cutback on expenses? Instead they just crank up the income! Maybe I should tell Cargill/Tyson I'm going to need quite a few more dollars this year? Or if I was a worker tell my employer I'm going to need a 30% raise....which is how much my taxes went up! [/QUOTE]
