If these expenses (roads, parks, libraries, police) are valid, I'd suggest that they must be presented as ONE budget each so that those who are being financially raped can see JUST where their hard-earned money is going. There is no such accountability. The unaccountability in my town is ridiculous and STILL the people say nothing. The people also need to decide just how roads will be replaced or maintained--who will be the entity that addresses this? Remember, the further away the public servants are, the more they will get away with.
