I'd think the goal should be to increase revenue if more money is needed. Then I'd examine whether I could get that additional revenue easier from the turnip or the fat cat, rather than eliminating a portion of the fat cat's payments and distributing more burden upon the turnip.

I disagree ... I run into "The Appraisal District" and "Tax Assessor/Collector" and "School Board" people at the HEB and hardware store or school functions often, if they don't behave, they get replaced in the next election. Try doing that with some appointed committes in Austin. My town is only 65 miles from Austin, but it's only 8 blocks long and 6 blocks wide with one grocery store (thats where you'll see your elected officials often too, plus at all school functions when their kids and our kids are on stage or field together while we visit in the stands) and we want to keep our money here instead of turning it over to parents (Austin bigger government) and asking for some back. We aren't children and don't want to be trated as such.
