I agree with some
Wilmington city council candidates and the Mayor elect when they
promise that they will not raise revenue by tax levies. It's an easy
agreement to make but it it is also an empty promise. State law
prohibits Council from raising taxes. Only the city's voters can do
so via the ballot box. Council can enable the voters by putting the
issue on the ballot and letting the public exercise their right to
choose. Of course council can also deny that right by refusing to
act.
