A reader argues that tax cuts require comprehensive budget reform not piecemeal measures. He notes the state tax rise versus stable county tax and calls for statewide budget meetings to review annual state expenditures and propose eliminations before a public vote. He warns individuals to accept reductions only if the overall burden fits their means.
