Will higher taxes lead to better public services? (5-11-26 Full Show)
from Joe Beamer
The Joe Beamer show on demand from NewsRadio 930 WBEN! Much has been made of Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan's proposed 25% property tax increase. While part of the reason for the increase is to help close the city's budget deficit of just over $100 million, do you think the increased tax revenue will equate to increased quality in public services? Also, we discuss Los Angeles Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt calling out CBS News for what he claimed was them unfairly editing footage, the status of the New York State budget with state Assemblyman Paul Bologna, and have you invested in a piece of 'new tech' that just turned out to be a huge waste of money?
