Taxes rise despite Bush slogan in state and local governments
The piece notes increases in state and local taxes amid federal spending cuts and debt. It cites Govs Florio and Cuomo proposing tax hikes, Thompson seeking more, and cites a drop in federal sharing from 23 percent to 16 percent. It mentions federal grants history, transit and wastewater funding shifts, and warns of rising education and medical costs driving local expenditures.
