Local Govt.Gouncil Members @ Emerald Isle can only think of raising more tax revenues to resolve a problem -- when they could simply look with in their own system and eliminate unnecessary wasteful spending of public money. Bets are now that they can't even ballance their own personal check books, let alone their own City/Govt.'s - but at the drop of a hat -- raise the tax's up a cool $100K. Its pathetic we have to continue living like this on the coast.
