How’s This For an Idea?
Since no one is talking about cutting spending in this age of income and property tax increases, I have a thought. How about a seven percent cut in across the board spending for all Marion County governments? By my quick guestimate, these local governments are spending about $1.4 billion of your money this year. A 6.7 percent cut would yield about $100 million in savings for the taxpayers. I’m all for cutting more if you guys are, but I think that’s a good place to start.
Who’s with me?
