Lets burden taxpayers with a tax hike? Yea, thats the ticket

Ok, here are the facts:

1-The City Council in Maryville works for and serves the taxpayers.
2-Taxpayers are experiencing a bad economy and have less disposable income.
3-Does the City Council cut their own spending or do they FORCE taxpayers (whom they serve) to cut their family budgets by raising taxes?

Why, you raise taxes of course, its the government way.
