“I’m sure of one thing,” Sharon Abercrombie says. "People are carrying
as big a tax burden as they can possibly carry. Responsible, efficient gov
ernment doesn't have to assess the people in the name of progress.” Case
in point: Sharon Abercrombie inherited a 5142,000 deficit when he be
came Mayor of Forest Park. While Mayor, lie raised the salaries of police
men, firemen, and other city employees—without upping taxes even one
mill. When he left office, two years later, there was a surplus of .$32,000
in the city treasury. That's how much efficiency can do.

The Abercrombies: Carolyn, Sharon, and Sherry, along with Bingo and
Tiger. Sharon’s idea of a better life for everyone is simple and true:
"Progress doesn't mean a thing if it doesn't provide meaningful benefits
for each and every one of us. I want to see progress reach the roots of
family living, and then watch it flower.”
