It seems we deserve what we get.
But our county has 170,000 residents, 128,000 registered voters and, yet, less than 6300 voters can impose a $100/yr tax on the rest of us.
There something wrong when less than 4% of voters can forcibly take money from the producers, homeowners, renters, businesses and other municipal organizations. And "give" it to the takers.
