Tax caps.

If I get a yearly COLA raise of say, 3.5% for arguments sake, thats all I get. If I wanted 5% because I just "need" a new car (fire truck), shed (city garage) or house (school), too bad. Why is it the local governments don't get held to the same standard? I may not be a big fan of the city of Laconia or Franklin where I'm originally from, but the tax cap is a big reason to stay in those places. Keeps the burden realistic.
