The caps and cuts highlight the fiscal irresponsibility of our towns, counties, and state officals. While I believe the statement that "no elected offical ever wants to raise taxes", there is a pretty simple answer: Pass a balanced budget (absent tax increases and borrowing). Increased spending and borrowing over the past years (attributable to both political parties) has driven taxes up. Hard decisions need to be made, but the solution itself is simple.
