Well, if emergency services are being cut, that's an asset allocation problem, not a funding problem.

The "its for the chillllllddddrrrrreeeennn" (insert cops, firemen, etc) is always the cry whenever government funds are threatened with a decrease.

We've had record revenue increases over the last seven years. Where has it all gone? Now suddenly, fiscal responsibility is upon us, and the government services of course don't want to take any of the hits, while the rest of us do.

Sorry, life doesn't work that way.

I'm voting YES.

PS: What percentage of property crimes are solved? Hmmmm... why do I think that statistic doesn't work in favor of the argument that we should vote "no" on this one?
