Property tax hike may be on the way for Salt Lake County

And yet, we know that we the "stupid" people willtrust government and keep voting for new taxes.
WAKE UP!
In this case, the sales tax to pay for these bonds has already been levied. However, because there is still a shortfall, they are looking to raise property taxes instead of cutting something else. We need to make choices on what we fund. If a greater cause come up, then we should cut a lesser cause to pay for it. The easy way out is to continue to have bond offerings.
Next time vote NO in regards to ANY bond offering. Whether it's a park, the Zoo, or any other public facility. If we as a public think it is such a good cause, then demand that our public officials take money away from a lesser cause to put towards it.
Mark my words, we will all be paying these tax increases for the rest of our lives.
So, please, stop telling the peasants in Utah what to do and how to act.
And no, I don't want government only when it's convenient for my own purposes. I think we should have LESS government in general!
The Council with their countless administrative assistants and legal and fiscal staff and the Mayor with his massive staff of micromanagers are out of control.
US? Who is US?
If you're one of THEM -- that voted for the tax increase, you should say so.
1) Receration. I do not consider it the roll of governement to entertain me. I am more than able to take care of that aspect of my life. Especially when funds are too short.
2) duplicative levels of administration. Quick the turf wars and stream line the government We do not need various/multiple adminstrations and support staff groups all along the Wasatch front. They can not coordinate themselves anyway.
To enough is enough, thanks for your thoughtful response.
For lack of a better term, the county is "old-fashioned." From processed to way too much paper to too many people handling tasks that take half as many people there is still a lot of fluff!
Who are you Seriously? And whoever you are, I doubt your bias on this topic reflects very much the attitude of most regular taxpayers.
The state SHOULD also look at this issue instead of trying to find "new ways to tax that nobody notices"!
Just look at Obama and his socialistic agenda.
Utah Democrats aren't far behind.
