are small/poor towns a failure of local policymakers? when a new fire engine, or new station, costs far more than their collective local taxes?

local authorities need to prioritize needs anmd wants in their budget. if they cant afford a fire engine, they ought not to be spending money on a new turf football field, propping up private sector activities, or giving raises to the school administrators.
