Federal appropriation's cuts mean local tax hike looming....again and again.
Excerpt:
State anticipates cut of nearly two-thirds for police
Rep. Dave Obey (D-Wis.), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said President Bush has cut local law enforcement programs in the past and "this year again made recommendations of more than $1 billion cuts." We restored some of the cuts, but he insisted on his total numbers because he wanted to pump every dollar into that stupid war in Iraq," Obey said.
Republican politicians in Washington have trumpeted irresponsible tax cuts and domestic spending restraints while blaming democrats and local "mis"management for the tax increases necessary to refill the tank. This has repeatedly been a no-fail campaign tactic for the GOP. It's almost like a "perfect crime."
