The current trend of elimininating school teacher, police officer, fireman and city employee jobs on a yearly basis is quite troubling to me. Twenty years from now there will be no qualified candidates to choose from for these posititions. The vital services these hardworking people provide is the lifeblood of the community. The tax money I gladly pay is far and away the best return on my money I will ever get. I challenge everyone to make a list of all you get for your tax dollars.
