Palm Beach County poised to spend more of your money

The Palm Beach County Commission will meet Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. for their first budget workshop of the year. Local residents can watch the workshop via Channel 20. Under their proposal, the public may think county commissioners are returning to the heydays of the real estate bubble because they plan to spend $57.5 million more in the coming fiscal year.

The Examiner asks the question, "Will the public put a stop to it and demand the commission lower the millage rate to keep taxpayer spending in check?" The commission will do whatever it wants to do no matter whether 100% of the residents say "no" at tonight's meeting.  We have seen this commission in action way too many times.  The county commission wants to spend an estimated $725 million of taxpayer money in the next fiscal year.
