NOT.
Lexington has like 42 residents. Average income is around $200K and taxes about triple those in the Springs.
Their idea of cutbacks is to lay off the masseuse who gave city council members free massages.
Or another brilliant cutback: spend more money today to save money in 4 years.
Bensberg and Bennet could run Lexington in their spare time, for all the brains behind decisions like that.
Out of money ? No problem. Raise taxes, since Taxachusetts doesn’t have TABOR.
So, which is better, apples or oranges, in a head-to-head comparison ?
.
Lexington also has 30,000 residents FYI, average income of $120k and taxes are only 5% (the Springs are 2.5%). And in regards to the city council massages…how do you know this much about Lexington, MA? I can’t even google that.
Anyways, the point of the comparison (which by nature is examining two different subjects and comparing their like qualities) is to show how there are different ways to cut costs. Some, like Lexingtons, may cost slightly more in the short term but have better long term returns. Others, like the Springs, look better in the short term but are not nearly as good in the long run. With the current uproar on the Bush Tax Cut expiration, I think this is a good real-world microcosm example of why extending the tax cuts may not be the best use of that money.

Born about 10 miles away. My parents were born about 5 and 8 miles from there.
Living there is really different than living here.
But I made that up about the massages.

Hey, this day in age it sounded highly believable. Actually, now that I think about it, that is pretty tame for a political scandal. Most people wouldn’t even bat an eye at that after all we’ve seen.
