All of these plans to reduce property taxes....Heck only one-fifth the cost of city government is covered by property taxes...In some local school districts only five percent of the cost of the schools is covered by the property tax.
But if we want to go there, the answer is in finding ways to contain costs, because anything else is smoke and mirrors.
Here in Watertown, while finances have been better than most, the needed action is a look at the level of service and see whether the most expensive areas like fire, police and public works are right-sized.
This is what you will hear more of in the future.
