You can’t compare reserves to 401K which is there for retirement. When you have reserve funds, that is put aside for when times are lean. Otherwise, why have it. Times appear to be lean now and the commission has decided to dip their hands in our pockets to fund the many programs they have. Our times are lean as well. Whose pocket do I get to stick my hands into?? Oh…no one?? Guess I will have to use my reserves. The government should live the same way we have to. When the money isn’t there and they don’t want to touch reserves, cut back on the areas that are basic.

Using the reserve accounts “to avoid tax increases and maintain appropriate service levels” is like using your 401K or IRA to buy groceries.
