52% in Salt Lake poll back public-safety bond

... that most Salt Lake City voters would tax themselves into further bondage to buy newer chains.

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?

Raising taxes and throwing money at a problem seems like an easy fix. Unfortunately, it's only a band aid and not a solution. Let's use a little brain power and solve the problem - not prolong it. Higher is taxes is never the right answer.

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 you�ll be safer if you just vote for the tax increase. That�s our government hard at work wasting tax money. Here�s an idea, take the 70 million and NOT build a soccer stadium if we currently need a fire/police station.
