"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782

So I’m waiting for some great statement of fiscal prudence.
They, the city, have taken a number of properties from the surrounding townships in the form of annexation back in the era that they could rob from the surrounding townships, and where has that gotten them?
Just look at the amount of non taxable property that was allowed to exist in the city and stop throwing the spear at the county government buildings. I am sure that having the government buildings in the city provides for people to spend their money in the city.
Where would private business be without these people who work downtown?
