Why is it that the mayors always talk about how the metro employees have to have "skin in the game" and sacrifice and not everyone else who lives here? I pay taxes just like the other citizens of Louisville. If we are asked to forgo pay raises or take furloughs then we are making less and in effect doing the same as having our taxes raised. ALL the citizens should have to sacrifice, not just the metro employees. How about cutting back on the money spent on all the non tax paying people in the area.
