you’re basically correct BUT it can mean out of state property owners WILL be taxed more. Also the feds don’t always pay currently for spending. Now it gets passed on to our kids and grandkids. you have a bad attitude. this practice does jibe with take from the haves and give to the havenots ;-(

"Why not just ban the mercury bulbs?"

"Environmentalists" now think mercury is good and carbon dioxide is bad.

and why do we have to worry about mercury....its all because of big brother governement. Everytime the federal governement does us a “mandatory favor” like forcing us to buy special toxic light bulbs with no alternatives, we end up paying for it.

When someone came up with the inane concept of land fills....they assured everyone that they were properly lined and that the surrounding area was completely protected from contamination.Now, however, they warn against caustic and dangerous fluids, paint, mercury, medicines, etc. etc. that have to be separately disposed of...pathetic.
