If we've going to have higher taxes, I prefer the decision to be made locally on a case by case basis than in a far-off distant state capital. There's more accountability and the people have a good idea of what to spend the extra money on better than the politicians do. Why would any one on this forum NOT support local control? There's a good case to be made Sacramento ought to be the place of last resort to address our problems considering how inefficient and wasteful it is in even tackling them.
