A recent commentary posted on the Beacon that bears repeating:
Schweitzer is right in one small respect; adjust the mills (taxes). What’s even better than that is to stop voting in favor of them. Every time the ignorant electorate votes in favor of a mill (tax) it is asking for property tax rates to go up. earth to voters; you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. You cannot say; I want all these millions for the government run schools and not expect that the State isn’t going to take the money to pay for it from your wallets and purses.
