Letter: Taxpayers want to see accountability

The No. 1 responsibility of government is public safety. The tax dollars that go into the budget are for that purpose and all other needs or wants are secondary.

The government should not come up with additional taxing devices, as in propositions, to come up with additional tax dollars to satisfy there number one responsibility. Is there any taxpayer in this state, which has never seen a government tax reduction, who believes that there isn’t waste and favors in government budgets?

Taxpayers are getting tired and realizing the solution to raising taxes is for governments to prioritize and to respect the taxpayer by using their money wisely and efficiently.
