So much for those teabaggers wanting to cut taxes and big government.

My town voted in republicans and voted to raise taxes too.

"As they watched returns come in over the Internet Tuesday at the Waterford Township Fire Department, firefighters smiled and appeared relieved Tuesday when they realized voters had apparently approved overriding five special millage rollbacks, adding an additional $1.17 million to next year’s revenue."

"In the Waterford election of one trustee, Anthony Bartolotta was leading, 8,733 to 6,717, over John Paul Torres at press time. The winner will serve a partial term ending Nov. 20, 2012.

Republican Bartolotta, 56, owns Imperial Auto Wash of Waterford Township on Elizabeth Lake Road. Democrat Torres is a substitute teacher and adjunct professor of political science at Oakland Community College."
