I’ve been engaged in taxes for longer then I care to admit, both on the individualized side (all my employed life-time!!) and from a legal stand since passing the bar and following up on tax law. I’ve offered a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve posted makes perfect sense. Please uphold the good work – the more people know the better they’ll be outfitted to deal with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.

And Newark and LUnion City have reduced tax revenues . . .

I’d call Fremont’s management a “multiplyer effect.”

I’m not sure its a fair comparison. Newark and Union City are small.

Wow -

Fremont streets are relatively in poorer condition when compared to cities on our immediate borders. I speculate that these other municipalities must also struggle with the same macroeconomic forces Fremont managers do (you know – things like lower revenues – failing businesses within their commuities – “raiding” by the state – failed tax initiatives – etc., etc., etc.)

But somehow these other communities muster an incremental effectiveness and are able to deliver a relatively higher quality service (somewhere between 10 and 20% better ) to their residents.

- and without a ballpark no less !!!

Gosh, do you mean that low density sprawling suburban development has extra costs?
