I think the orginal post was about the cost of living with hints of taxes and fees.
Every candidate for govenor I have listened to stated to do away with waste, fraud, and abuse.
Benson was one of the better ones. Let a real business man run things and all would be done. After 2 years with little to account for he stated he needed two more years. He was booted out. So much for a business man to clean things up. Lots of blame to go around but the bottom line is that the business man Benson did zilch.
Many want all of the services and stuff that the state/cities/towns have.
Don't cut the license plate scanners as they may find some bad guys. Don't cut the drones as they may catch some speeders. Don't cut the military M-16 in every officer car as there may possibly be a shoot out even though we all have two SWAT teams. One regional - one state. Both doing exactly the same job.
Anyone who has been in the military knows the difference between military rifles and the rifles sold to civilians.
Someone brought up Carl Drega. Well go read up on that character. What caused that character to go bezerk?
All seem to want to cut but just don't cut items you want but not necessarily needed.
If this state keeps spending on items as today - this state will end up with an income tax.
Some/all have to just say no. Stop buying. No more "stuff".
