This is a very good point. I suspect that because decision making is very local, they have functioning feedback loops: so you decided to spend too much money on a new fire truck? Well now you can't pay for the sports field renovations. People eventually learn.
- harha 6y agoYes you’re much closer to deciding on the people spending your money, since it is clear what is cantonal and what is state responsibility and they tax you very clearly visible and separately. That way you don’t need to blindly trust the claims of the different politicians, you see the result directly.
