I understand your concerns, but the state is cutting the amount they give the towns, for those services, in my town it costs them an additional 20% to 30% to run the construction department, they loose money, not make it, and now, with the cuts, it may be more, so they will have to, pass on the expenses, in the form of fee increases, and yes it goes in the general fund, and the operating expenses for construction department also comes out of the general fund.
I check now before quoting permit fees, and yes i was shocked, to find a servive upgrade permit, that was $52, is now $100.
