Lindon residents want city to make cuts instead of raising taxes

In a 3-1 vote on Tuesday, city officials raised the city's portion of property taxes 35 percent, saying they had exhausted other options. Councilman Toby Bath was the sole dissenting vote.
The city borrowed $1.7 million this year from its sewer, water, garbage and other funds to stay afloat.

They warned that the increase will bring in only $300,000, and more cuts -- and perhaps future tax increases -- may be necessary. About 100 residents attended the meeting.
"Since I'm up for re-election I figure I ought to put my neck on the line," said Anthony, making the motion to approve the tax increase after hours of discussion and hearings.

What do you think Lindon should have done about the need for more revenue?

The magazine looked at cities with populations between 8,500 and 50,000. Rankings were determined by many statistics including crime rates, school test scores, property taxes services, job growth and commute time. Among the top 100 best places to live in the United States, Lindon ranked 74th.

What do you think? What makes Lindon so special? Do you think it deserves the 'best small-town' designation?
