I just had
an interesting conversation with a mayoral candidate. He was saying that it was
time the town got some commercial development so that we could get some substantial tax revenue.
He said that in a bedroom community, the tax burden falls on the citizens, and
that, although people complain about how high their taxes are, most of it goes
for education.
The downside is that commercial development can ruin a small-town atmosphere.
I
suggested that maybe somebody should let people know up front that, if they’re
moving here because they want the idyllic small-town lifestyle,
They’re going to have to pay for it.
