Or let’s put it another way–Prince William County, you cheap bastards.
Today I listened to the budget presentation from the Tuesday night BOCS meeting. I was appalled. Tonight I looked at it online. The new budget sickened me.
Prince William County is not a poor county made up of poor folks. It is quite wealthy and has a lot going for it. It’s also, by Northern Virginia standards, a fairly affordable place to live. So why are some people, especially those in my district, clamoring for lower taxes?
For that matter, why would our Board of Supervisors agree to make libraries the untouchables in a draconian budget slashing caper? Why would money be taken away from the performing arts? Why would poor children be denied dental services and drug rehab programs be eradicated? It isn’t even our poor and most vulnerable who will lose services. It’s everyone.
