Unfunded mandates pushed through, talk about education (talking the talk but not walking the walk)...people are too busy to find out what is going on in their county/country "somebody else will take care of it." Well, now it's time to pay for our eyes being wide shut. We've been asleep - thinking our leaders will take care of everything. But, guess what, now that it's hitting home, everyone is waking up. Two years ago, Amendment One, increased the homestead tax deduction - from $25,000 to 50,000 - where did people think the money was going to be cut to get the deduction? ...um I guess that could be one reason why we're 50th.
