Cuts costing local jobs

Reading this article makes me wonder that in a time where we are feeling the economic ripples of a downturn we are suppose to be coming out of, why our local government is trying to force higher taxes on us.

A nickel here, a nickel there but at the end of the year it's still money we really can't afford to be spending right now. This isn't a stock market concept here people - we can't buy low and sell high - and let's face it, we're pretty low.

Even if the experts are right and our economy does start to rebound, we are going to feel the aftermath for some time. I think as a community we need to take more control of fiscal decisions.

Praise the Lord for those filling the gaps in our troubled economy.

I don't know who is trying to fool who here. The media is yelling about the economy getting better but I don't see it.

I agree with Dan Schellenger, Thank God for all of those stepping up to fill these gaps in troubled times. I know there are many people whom are fortunate and it is time we all start giving back folks.
