If the dollars they took out for the library actually went for the library, it would cover library costs. But having worked there, it appeared to me they received approximately 1/3 of the money that was pulled in for "library tax." Just a guess really, but the point stands:
If they call it a library tax, that money should go to the library, not 12 other pet projects. The tax is higher here because it is tacked onto the water bill than I was paying to join when I wasn't part of the "taxed community." Far higher.
It's a game politicians have gotten away with for too long.
