OC brought up the taxation without representation. We are taxed in many ways and have no say and it has irked me. Like JT I spend much of the year in AZ. I am technically a resident there, although MN is home in my heart. I haven't had a vote in MN for some years, own multiple properties on which taxes are collected, and have no say.

The news last week confirmed for me that I get to pay another $300 a year to support the administration of the school system. You don't get a vote either because Sen. Bakk authored the bill saying the school board could levy without a vote.

So I get to pay a bucket full of money each year for "my share" of the $80M in school construction plus an operating levy and have no vote.

I wish our elected officials at all levels spent our money as if it were theirs. Huh, I guess they do consider it theirs.

Do you think throwing tea in the harbor would do any good?
