Perhaps lowering, not raising, taxes will make Newton attractive

To the editor:

It always amazes me that anytime a politician, or an administrator or administrative body, has a situation involving revenue verses expenditures that the answer to the problem is always increasing taxes, tax levies, and requiring the people of the community to pay more. 

Whatever happened to reduction in expenses – elimination of some expenses, administrative, labor, operating,  and other expenses that just go on being paid?
