In general, municipal and regional governments are preoccupied with keeping property tax increases as small as possible. As a result, you can't increase spending much in any given area, unless you are going to cut somewhere else.
The way to solve this would be to rework the funding of municipal governments, but I don't see this as being very likely, at least not in the near to medium term.
No, they really aren't. If they were pre-occupied with that they would be taking their engineering staff to task about the immense waste in our roads. They are only concerned about CERTAIN spending. And frankly, I'm furious about it.
