The city of Wake Village currently operates with a balanced budget, I feel that it is the responsibility of the city to spend the people’s money wisely. I think only programs that will help the city grow and are necessary for the community safety and well being should be in the budget.

Raising taxes it’s something I am against. If we operate responsibility we should be able to prevent it.
