That's my concern. And what about local levies? Should your local high school student be able to up help raise levies to support their sports programs with their vote while having no stake whatsoever in property taxes? This is an issue here because most of the people in this community own their homes. If you throw in another 300 or so votes for levies, you'd get a wide enough margin to pass levy after levy on homeowners by TEENAGERS who would risk nothing, but benefit immensely from the levy. I know this gets into a larger issue of issuing basic requirments(civics knowledge, property or business owner) to vote. I'm all for it. I know that may tick people off, but there are too many Pauls trying to take from the Peters in this country. At this point, making it TOUGHER(so it's taken as the serious responsibility it is) and not easier to vote is the only way I think we will turn this country around.
