We see the justification for those taxes generally under their term “Economic Development.”

Now we have the super cool parking deck for our thrift store and a beauty shop that houses a car or two per week. Of course because of “Economic Development” taxpayers to Wildwood paid 50,000 dollars per parking space in that lot.

I know the Sheriff’s Department can respond to Wildwood needs, but Wildwood already has an over staffed police department.

My point, there is waste, there is taxation redundancy.
