Quote:Well my first question is, is raising taxes and/or keeping tax rates up the right way to go? Are there not cuts in the mix that can cover the cost?


From my point of view, our taxes in Jax are very very low. Of course, at the same time our services, compared to other places my wife and I have lived, are also very slim. So maybe cutting from other areas could help a little, but we aren't talking $250,000 here or there, the shortfall is $1.5 billion.
