Finally, an elected official who questions exactly how our tax contributions are being spent!

Why do annual taxes and spending increase at DOUBLE the rate of inflation? Are we receiving twice the quality of education and services we received last year? Or are these increases so much fluff in the name of "improving education"?

Bravo, Councilman Tim White for actually scrutinizing the budget (and tax increases). Too bad the Board of Ed does no more than rubber-stamp the Superintendent's proposed budgets every year.
