The reason I haven't presented initiatives is because I honestly don't have any ideas. Well, I'd like to make a regional budget, but since our GM process has become a joke, that's impossible. If anyone has any ideas though, they're happy to either propose it themselves ot discuss them with me.
Does your region have any income taxes? If so, I would propose you eliminate them and replace them with a property tax that would generate about the same amount of revenue.
But I can't know how much revenue we have or how much revenue would be generated, since the GM process is a joke.
