    During a time when people are struggling to live within their means, Phoenix has a moral obligation to stay within it's budget and not impact it's citizens budget more than necessary.

    The city needs to work within it's budget like it's citizens need to. We can't have our taxes raised continually to meet the needs of the city's whims.

    The COP has been spending too much money for far too long. COP needs to live within it's budget like it's citizens are forced to do. The most recent budget is > $6 billion with over a $134million surplus. For the City to spend money it either has to issue bonds or increase taxes. Continual tax increases are a burden. Municipal Bond Market heading towards the same liquidity crisis as the treasury market. Bonds are being sold off & the interest rates are starting to take off. Must reduce spending.

    It’s time the City does what its citizens are forced to do and live within their budget. The most recent budget is over $6billion and has over a $134million surplus. For the City to spend money it either has to issue bonds or increase taxes.
