Get some good crafters in town. Without reporting I can't know for sure, but I believe sales tax makes up the largest income for my town.

Our weekly maintenance is 715k. Over time the old taxes 2% sales, 500 income 5% property where generating a surplus. So I cut it to 250 income and 3% property and we are about even.

If you can do 10 million per week in sales with a 2% sales tax, that generates 200k. 10 million in sales is not that much, and it is paid by non-citizens for the most part.

I took over from the Founding Mayor - who reached a personal need for change - and wanted his skill points back. i won't fault him at all as a Mayor - he took office 30 minutes after the publish went live. But he wasn't terribly communicative about city affairs.

My first action was to issue a weekly report - detailing the financial affairs of the city (even though everyone can go see it). Within the first month - it became clear that Expenses exceeded income - and

Citizens offered donations! unsolicited. Specifically, a pair of artisans banded together to take on the cost ofour Research specialization!

So while I'm sure there are citizens complaining about every dime they're dunned for every where - there are those eager to pitch in and help as well.

Just get the word out!
