Cannon County, Tennessee Proposed Budget

IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE A TAX INCREASE IS IN THE WORKS....BUT CAN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WORK WITH BUDGETS AND NUMBERS REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS TO THEIR POCKETBOOKS? NO ONE IN THE WORK FORCE (IF THEY ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO STILL HAVE A JOB) OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT SEEMS TO BE GETTING RAISES SO WHY SHOULD OUR SO CALLED "PUBLIC SERVANTS" BE CONTINUING TO LIVE AS IF THE ECONOMY IS THRIVING? OH, I KNOW IT IS MANDATED....BY THOSE LAWMAKERS WHO ARE GETTING THE BIGGEST "PIECE OF THE PIE".
