All the noise about potentially losing $30,000 from the revenue side and messing with the "balanced budget" should take a back seat to a more pressing Municipal budget issue. The Commission capriciously removed hundreds of thousands of dollars from the expense side of the 2009 budget to deliver a small tax decrease; in particular, the Commission dumped funding for streets and the like. Now we either pass on maintaining our infrastructure, or irresponsibly take on more debt for items that should be handled on a pay-as-you go basis.
