Because responding to comments requires Facebook and I consider Facebook a disease, I want to comment on the story about tax increases from our beloved county commissioners: What did you all expect when you elected more of the tax-and-spend Democrats as commissioners?

There’s a $26 million county reserve, what’s it for if it is not for lean times? We already pay more for gasoline than any surrounding county.

All the trustafarians in this county don’t care about taxes. As long as they don’t have to pay more for gazing at sunsets! Sheesh, people! Wake up and smell what they are shoveling before they are piling it on top of you.
