People voted in those new commissioners because they didn't want a tax increase(ignoring the fact that taxes had not been raised for 14 YEARS!!!). That's somewhat logical. What they didn't realize was the consequences of not having that particular tax increase was going to cause other unwanted tax increases that will stymie business and county development. Most people don't really think beyond "I don't want MY taxes going up 25%". Sad and shortsighted.
