They really should have planned better 14 years ago. But it looks like they were more interested in patting themselves on the back and attracting others to pat them as well, by telling them how much they will save by living there. "We won't spend money on anything, and we'll keep the taxes really low, maybe even lower them further a couple of times. What's that, you say? Expenses are becoming more expensive? Don't worry about that, we'll figure it out when the bill comes. Excuse me? Things need repair 10 years later? Hm. We didn't save anything, but heck let's just pour what we have into one of those repairs and everyone will love us for keeping the costs down. Eh? We've run out of money and there are MORE repairs to make 14 years later? Well bite me on the backside, it's time to make them PAY."
That is what happened. Y'all voted for it for 14 years. Change the administration, and you'll change how finances cover expenses.
