Our title was taken from the headline in an article from the March 1 Explorer.
Reading through the article, it suggests ways of increasing revenue.
The key word is "TAXES."
We have a better idea.
Perhaps it's time to FINALLY listen to our friend and Oro Valley citizen John Musolf. John has a wealth of financial knowledge gained during and after his career in finance.
There have been many postings on this blog where John has offered his expertise to the town. For the most part, there are those in our government; mainly the Mayor and Council majority who think they're smarter than John Musolf, and therefore his valuable insight is of no interest.
Sure--- these individuals can impose higher Utility Taxes, initiate a Property Tax, and increase the sales tax, but wouldn't it make more sense to listen to John, and a few others, including Council Member, Bill Garner, and look at the multitude of expenditures that could and should be reduced.
Maybe we citizens should pay more attention, so we don't look up one day and say, "since when do we have a property tax, or since when did the sales tax increase, or since when did the tax on our gas, water & electricity, go up?
Don't say you weren't warned!
Here's The Explorer article.
