About this episode
Vancouver resident Jim McConnell breaks down city budgets per capita across the West Coast, finding that Vancouver's $12,000 per-person budget surpasses Seattle's $11,000 and Los Angeles's $3,800. McConnell argues the trend reflects irrational progressive fiscal policy. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-how-rational-are-our-city-taxes/ #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #CityBudget #WashingtonState #Opinion #Taxes #GovernmentSpending #LocalPolitics #LetterToTheEditor #FiscalPolicy
