money
Last Wednesday, Oct 28, Henry Lister did a commentary on WCHL about the upcoming election for Chapel Hill mayor and council. He named no candidates; rather he described the election as a choice. The choice is between our legacy, i.e., two centures of conscious decisions that have resulted in our becoming a world-class center of education and health care, versus those who are primarily concerned with lowering property taxes. I think Henry did a great job. Here is his commentary:
The upcoming election in Chapel Hill is NOT about money. We face a dangerous election next week. Several vocal and well-funded candidates are running platforms promising to reduce homeowner taxes by developing more commercial taxes, some just because they think that’s what voters want to hear. But framing this election about money does us all a dis-service and shifts the focus from our real goal, which is to continue Chapel Hill’s legacy.
Is there anywhere on the web with details about NC state budget, orange county budget, and Chapel Hill town budget? I've been searching the last hour and am surprised that I have been unable to find any breakdown of the recently passed budgets. Am I missing a good resource? I have no agenda; just wondering what the facts are. Seems like this information is more difficult to find than it should be.
Thanks.
