Dave Barry, your also part of the problem becuase you don't know what you are talking about regarding city vs school spending. here are the facts:
Allocation of local tax dollars to city in millions of dollars,
2007 $63.9
2008 $67.1
2009 $76.1
2010 $78.5
2011 $79.6
2012 $94.1
2012 $97.7
Allocation of local tax dollars to schools in millions of dollars,
2007 $113.1
2008 $118.1
2009 $118.1
2010 $124.0
2011 $125.0
2012 $118.6
2013 $118.6
Notice that schoola are slightly above 2008 levels while city is at all time high.
Also the spending break down is 55% schools 45% city. If you comapre this to other towns the school allocation is lower than normal.
Conclusion city spending has accounted for 100% of the tax increase over the last 4 out of 6 years.
