When did you become the "posting police"? I can post whatever I want as it appears you are too, but I won't get into that since anyone with any intelligence knows that there are different ways of getting the people's attention. There are some areas of the budget that cannot be cut: education, law enforcement, safety, etc. Because we are such a wide state some of these costs are very expensive and continue to rise as does the cost of living. No anecdote or opinion, facts!
