Local town built a new school. The mansions on the hill in town pay $125 a year, the common houses pay $35-60 a year.
My very small farm by today's standards, I'm paying $800 a year for the next 20 years. A real average size farm would thus be chipping in $2500 or so?
similar story on township and county roads. Rural is taxed a lot heavier per person.
So, my county has 5 commissioners. Two represent a big city suburb. Two represent half of the county seat town including a liberal arts college of 2500 plus a small rural surrounding. One actually represents the small villages and rural areas of this agricultural county.
So my county is all concerned about spending money on cultural issues, liberal arts issues, bike paths for city residents to be able to ride out into the country.
Out in the country, they put up signs, "no snow plowing after dark" and other such things that are so 'helpful' to the people who pay the bulk of the taxes, while we have to work around the bike paths......
It is a joke.
A few years ago the state revised the way property taxes were homesteaded, so city folk get some cheap taxes, rural folk get to pay the bills.
There is no representation. Our county is not run by or for the people out in the county, it is run by transient college kids and city folk who have no skin in the game. Rural folk are taxed much heavier than city folk, and college kids in a religious collage pay almost zero taxes for their bike paths.....

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
