Shock: Democrats Want To Raise Taxes

From the LVRJ: Several leading Southern Nevada politicians said Friday that taxes must be increased, or they cannot provide necessary services in their county or city.
"You can't go on trying to run your city on half the property tax (compared to before the recession)," said Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins during the Local Government Summit, which attracted about 60 city council and county commission members from across the state.
"Raise the damn property tax."
Las Vegas City Councilman Steve Ross called on state legislators next year to give local governments authority to raise taxes on their own. He noted the state sales tax system was created in 1955, a time when most sales were on products compared with today when most purchases are on untaxed services.
He said later that his city faces a "fiscal cliff," just as the federal government does. 
Most of the support for higher taxes came from officials in heavily Democratic Clark County. Both Coffin and Collins are former Democratic state legislators. Few comments were made on that subject from representatives in Washoe County or predominantly Republican rural Nevada.

What else do you need to know about Democrats and Republicans- the liberal Democrats think whatever money you make is the government's money while Conservative Republicans believe that you should fund government, but at a reasonable cost.
Thankfully, we have enough conservative legislators in Nevada that won't allow higher property taxes or begin an income tax.
