In a way, they do tax me everytime I flush the toilet. The Township makes us pay for the metered water of course, but now they are charging use a "sewer usage fee" based on the reading from the water meter.
I was at a Township meeting a while back. I attend nearly all of them. The County recieved a grant from the Feds to expand our "walking trails". The conversation just prior to that announcement was about how we need new tires for the fire-trucks, but don't have the funds for them. I asked why we couldn't use the walking trail money to buy tires instead of adding to the hundreds of miles that we already have. I was told by the State Rep that the money could only be used for the walking trails, a direct order from the White House. Like Nancy siad, we have the worst roads in the Country, but the idiots in DC think the stupid walking trails are more important than tires and real roads. Every one of them should be voted out of office, or as suggested above, target practice.
