Now it could be, they were lying to us , or they were being disingenuous , and this was actually just your garden variety sales tax increase, if so, then I feel deceived.

You can't plead poverty on one hand , and then on the other claim there's plenty of money to pay for opex costs of MAPS projects.

You can't butter both sides of your bread.
the police and fire unions are both strong and those services are wanted by the citizens regardless of service level ..... thus that was a political vote ..
