Maybe a government course is needed to understand how budgets work. Or going to the County treasury and ask for an explanation. Asking on here and expect answers from people who only know "when I was up north" it worked this way. When you have growth like we are experienceing it is almost impossible to keep the reserves, build infrastructure, expand facilities, maintain insurance, hire and maintain personnel etc. Commissioners salaries are a drop in the ocean but seems to be the focus. If new folks are elected it will be interesting to see how they react after they find out how difficult the job is and steep the learning curve really is. But as stated earlier, taxes won't go down as long as the growth continues.
