A town of 200 has a budget of $1,000,000 ?

That covers a police man and a small school.

“budget of $1,000,000 “

Schools are paid out of county budgets. I tried googling to find the town budget (incorporated “towns” are still part of counties in VA, as opposed to incorporated “cities” which are independeant). I could only find tax rates associated w/the county (Giles).

Presuming gov’t abuse like everywhere else, I’d venture a guess that 1 mill covers 500k of wage and benefits of 2 guys. Or perhaps it’s 333k for 2 guys w/the remaining 333 covering the retirement of their predecessors.

Here in Florida, you can’t incorporate under 5000 people, IIRC.........
