The best and only real solution is to get a property tax ordinance similar to 
Prop 13 in California. You force the politicians to live within their 
budgets. Just like you. Just like me. Politicians think that our pockets have too 
much money in them and they want to move it to their special agendas. Hence, over 
taxation. If you read my solutions for the school district that would also 
help to eliminate some of the burden.

Corporations that are on the verge of bankruptcy bring in a new CEO just for 
the privilege of taking the heat of trimming all the fat. A lot of people on 
the school board today don't have enough guts to do what is financially 
prudent. Same with the city. Some pet projects need to stay on the drawing board and 
never leave it. California's financial woes today have absolutely nothing to 
do with Prop 13. I don''t want to hear about it.

I think any 8 year old child who gets an allowance can tell ya exactly what 
he can spend his allowance on. He doesn't have the ability to reach into 
anybody else's pocket so that he can spend twice as much as he can afford. I think 
it is high time that everybody lives within their budget.
