Dont Tax, But Still Spend
From Chuck Shepherd's News of the Weird:
Tax officials in Valparaiso, Ind., admitted in February that they mistakenly valued one house at $400 million (though its previous assessment was $121,900), and even though they re-computed the owner's bill, they failed to erase from the city budget the $8 million in tax revenue they were expecting from the property, including $3 million that they already had disbursed.
Kinda makes a tax-and-spend politician sound pretty good, don't you think?
