Retconning a necessary tax increase is foolish. But expecting NO tax increase at all, is equally foolish. There needs to be a tax increase. But I don't think it needed to be 25%. I think there were, and still are, other avenues to reach out to, for increased revenue. And more cost-efficient decisions the county could make toward saving more, spending less, and still providing service to the towns.
