We paid much more in TX and insurance was muuuuuuch higher. Read the article and it said it was a "proposal". I do not like increases in taxes but also realize that cost increase for just about everything. Yes you have more people paying more taxes but you have more people using roads, all city/county infrastructure, need more police, fire & paramedics. More employees means a need for schools, teachers and all the cost associated. Each of these will need benefits which have not gotten cheaper. A huge cost for municipals, state and fed is retiree cost as was said in the article. But we should all stay vigilant and hold elected officials responsible/accountable for spending our money. Just need to stay vigilant but not expect cost to stay the same forever.
