Lord Mayor of the Flies

Ring in the new Hobbesian reality in LaLaLand:
“The city is going to have to contract for police services, period,” Half Moon Bay City Manager Michael Dolder said after an emergency meeting last week at which City Council members contemplated having to cut roughly $1.2 million out of the city’s general fund by June — money they were counting on before voters defeated Measure K, a 1-cent sales tax increase that would have raised as much as $1.4 million for the city each year.

Some group here tried to lower all property taxes & vehicle registration fees to $10.00 per veh, but the measure failed. Someone must have read the information on what would happen if these measures passed. About contracting for any service, like police, fire, ambulance & how the funding for K-12 would be affected.
I don’t mind paying property tax, because if I need one, I want a cop here. Or firemen.
Sometimes, less isn’t always more.
