Is that a joke? With all the new homes in TV and the incredible tax base, Sumter's coffers have to be growing by leaps and bounds. This almost sounds like a political/scare question.
Think about the huge influx of dollars from the Sumter portion of TV. Our use of fire/police and other services is probably minimal in the grand scheme of things. If they are having budget cuts, I think someone should investigate how tax dollars are being expended and check for waste and/or misuse of funds.
