Chairman Charles Bannister will vote for the budget (he has to… it’s his budget) and Bannister’s “Mini Me,” Shirley Lasseter, will do whatever Bannister does.

That leaves D-2 Bert Nasuti as the swing vote on Beaudreau’s plan. My purpose is not to put any unwarranted pressure on Commissioner Nasuti; he is a good friend, an intelligent and thoughtful individual; and will vote his knowledge and conscience.

But if you do not believe that a tax increase is warranted, you will want to express your support of Beaudreau’s effort when the time arises.
