[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an area with small towns each with there own schools..and the taxes are WAY higher than here. It is very expensive to replicate all the services so many times. Each has a superintendant of schools, a curriculumn committtee, a myraid of spec ed services....on and on.[/quote] I did too. And yes, property taxes are higher. But towns do not tax income (MoCo does, and at a high rate too). When you factor that in, taxes are about the same actually. In a town-based system, the taxpayers have a real voice. My parents used to go to town meetings routinely, and SPEAK to the school board and superintendent. Unimaginable in this vast bureaucracy we have here, which is democratic in name only.[/quote]
