The proposed Snohomish County budget for 2002 calls for an increase in debt by 36 percent. Total expenditures would increase 12.7 percent. This is in a time of already high taxes and a deepening recession. This is a prudent time to hold the line on expenditures but the incumbents just don’t get it.
Our only hope to hold the line is by electing county council candidates who will provide sound financial accountability. Jeff Sax has sound business experience and would spend our tax dollars prudently.
