Sports and other fees and property tax cuts
I'm hearing whispers among parks and recreation departments that sports league fees could get a big hike in light of the recent property tax cuts.
No one knows for sure yet -- the depth of the cuts has to be determined first, then the budget, then ... -- but their point is that the days of subsidizing ballgames for kids (and adults) might be on the wane.
But you never hear that side of the story when the property tax cuts are discussed, although you've heard municipal leaders emphasize (properly) the need to maintain strong police and fire departments.
