    It’s nice to try to reduce the cost for the citizens but with less tax money some other tax needs to be increased or some service will have to save money.

    Dimmitt also said that because the bulk of property taxes go to schools and other jurisdictions, local governments rely on sales taxes to fund police and fire departments, road repairs, trash and recycling, among many other services.

      Easy, take some of the taxes that’s going to the police and do something useful with them
