He was like "But Bus service is a basic city service" and I replied "What did they do for transportation before they were annexed?".
Services cost money ..............
I think everyone wants cuts - but just not in anything they use.

Just an opinion. If a city annexes area to increase it's tax base it is disingenuous not to offer the same services. Otherwise screw the city and the politicians. IMHO they are just pandering to their non-productive voters.

I'm fairly close to retirement and these people are shitting pretty close to my rice bowl. I don't listen to Rush but I may start keeping a list.
