Major cuts in services are unlikely since every government service has some constituency that wants that service. Senior citizens want a senior center, parents want a recreation program, etc. On top of that, some of the services, such as the court system, are mandated by state and federal law. That leaves finding a way to subsidize homeowner taxes as the only viable alternative. The best way to do that is to attract as much businesses investment as possible.
Businesses pay far more in local taxes than they consume in services.
Businesses subsidize homeowner taxes. Not only that, but many businesses also generate a local sales tax that helps subsidize homeowner taxes. If local governments can attract business investment at a faster rate than they attract residential expansion, they stand a better chance of catching up with local infrastructure needs. That means better roads and more space in the classrooms. So ironically, the solution to Jackson County's residential growth is to generate additional business growth so we can afford to pay for the infrastructure we need.
