Princeton Township budget now over $30 million:

The Township just approved its $30,900,000 budget. This means the budget has increased

2006 8.2%
2005 11.3%
2004 8.8%

If that's not bad enough, bear in mind that routine maintenance is not included in the budget:

The Township will typically put certain projects — roads, infrastructure — to bond

And they have the nerve to talk about a "surplus balance".
