Yes - I'm talking people. $80 a year in taxes for fire protection for a family of four sounds reasonable to me. Again, I go back to the question - if governments do not exist to provide basic protection - what is their function?
See my post #324, how much do you pay in taxes for a 2000 sq ft home with 1/2 acre? I still say our way works better, if this guy wants his garage and vehicle taken care of by tax money, then go somewhere where it happens.
Our state and his area in particular don't want that as evidenced by the vote in 2001. He doesn't like it, move somewhere with higher taxes. Why should everyone here have to change because he moved here?
He claims ignorance yet his 3 other neighbors in very close proximity paid their dues, he of the 4 homes chose not to pay and then having a hissy fit because he wasn't covered anyway. What's a hoot is he could have moved here for the low cost of living and cheap taxes!
