It is merely a transference of wealth because:
- The cost of government
has risen by 55% but the population has risen
by 2%.
- The cost of schools
has risen by 56% but the
student headcount
rose by 10%. Back in the 1980s, we
over 10,000 students, but now we have 9,228.
- The town employment
has risen by 28% but we
get less services. Remember when garbage was
picked up twice a week.
- The salaries of
town department heads
has gone up 50% in only six years but they still
do the same job.
