Anything more than a property tax increase equal to inflation equates to a serious lack of planning on the City's side.

Someone please explain to me the argument that they city is growing, we need to raise taxes to deal with the increase demand on our infrastructure. The city is growing and so too is the tax base, so why the need to increase taxes?
Check my post earlier about why the City needs to increase taxes. Don't forget to pay attention to releases from City Hall after the 2009-2011 budget is released.
