What amazes me is everyone that thinks they are ok... teachers, insurance people, police, government, city workers, hospitals, they cut our service's, and think the unemployed will just keep writing the checks and paying them...Reality will be a bitter pill for them for sure if this lasts very long. They mandate close your business, but pay those taxes, no evictions, but pay the taxes, with what? Are they stupid?
Of everything delayed locally, property taxes are still on schedule to be paid. We have stopped evictions, Sheriff sales on foreclosures and most court services.
I am pretty sure if we have a similar issue a year from now, people and business will choose to not participate. Too much loss already. People are asked to hardship because those who are responsible for the common good should have prepared for this had not.
Most governments will have money for essential services- public safety; education, etc. They may find they shouldn't be in the parks and rec business and several other aspects for elected people to attend ribbon cutting ceremonies for.
