If we can pay the UMass football coach $1.7M I have no problem paying competitively for a position as important as this.

2nd Sichuan Palace if you like authentic spicy Chinese food. New owners took over about 2 years ago and things have only improved. We sat and chatted for about 20 minutes the other night, they are super nice.

High property values and lots of alterative revenue streams.

I'm on the outer 495 belt these days, our tax rate is $15.77. Valuations keep going up, so likewise so do our taxes. If property prices take a dip they will cry poor and raise the rate again, this has been the cycle for many years. Tax rate used to be around $12.
