[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those country clubs have *already* been singled out for special treatment.

That’s why they’re paying a fraction of the taxes homeowners pay now.

Country clubs also aren’t farms. Stop comparing apples to golf balls. [/quote]

As a PP pointed out, there are plenty of "farms" in upper MoCo that are just private lands with no discernible benefit to the greater public. Is a horse farm that different from a country club?

At the end of the day, country clubs are non-profits and governed under laws for non-profits. At least they pay something, which is more than can be said for schools or colleges or religious institutions. You have an argument with it? Take it up with the MoCo government and listen to them carefully explain why they won't be changing laws to single out country clubs just because you have a vendetta against them. The people up in Rockville are polite enough. And, no, just because you feel all morally superior doesn't mean you're in the right.
