Home, sweet home....and yes, we had noticed the pain.
But it still really is home, sweet, agricultural, home. Second graders from our local school did pretty darned good in the statewide My Favorite Food contest

ReplyDeleteNaturally our democratic governor is going after it now.
I keep telling Matt that we defiantly live in the wrong state! But what are ya going to do. Every state does have its bad points!
ReplyDeleteEvan said the taxes there were something else! Here the water is high!

We need to cultivate industry...almost of ANY kind. It's industry and business that relieves property tax. Where I am, the county planning people do little to no thing to hunt up business, and when they get somebody, they wanna give away the store just to get them in.
ReplyDeleteJan, of course he is. We knew we had some of the highest taxes in the country...now we can prove it.
ReplyDeletelisa, pretty awful on the tax front isn't it?
Linda, we compared our property taxes with a friend in Ohio...not even one third of ours!
June, yeah, but the industry doesn't want to pay the high taxes, making for a catch 22 where they have to give the store away. Sure a mess
They do that so you will sell out and move to a better place. Look how well it worked for Detroit!
ReplyDeleteJust got a note from up north that they have done a reassesment on the Bolt Hole. Can't wait to see what the new taxes will be. /sarc
ReplyDeleteWouldn't be so bad if I could help decide how the money was spent, but, since it's only a part time residence, I don't get to vote on that.
JB, they go up every single year too...never fails
ReplyDeletejoated, awful innit? You wouldn't believe what we pay.,..well, maybe you would.
