I for one support fire and police. This is something I am willing to spend my tax dollars for...a safe community. The public safety buiding is in horrible condition, if we don't replace it then who will?

My property tax evaluation went up 23.99% last year. What is that state doing with that windfall of money? You people who vote for higher taxes are STUPID and are just being taken advantage of. They play on your emotions and say youï¿½ll be safer if you just vote for the tax increase. Thatï¿½s our government hard at work wasting tax money. Hereï¿½s an idea, take the 70 million and NOT build a soccer stadium if we currently need a fire/police station.
