Our local city councils and county supervisors know all too well that our police and fire protection are at the top of most residents' priority list. We all want our property and loved ones to be safe from harm.
If you take a broader view of what is going on here on the local Patch and in our communities, our government representatives have deliberately cut these essential safety services to the bone, knowing full well that people will feel endangered even in their own neighborhoods and homes.
Why, you may ask, have they let this situation get so bad? Because city councils and county supervisors are not above playing hardball with the very people they have sworn to serve and protect. When all these discussions and hyped-up media reports on the growing level of crime have reached a certain scary level, count on our elected representatives to propose tax increases.
