Today's Rutland Herald editorial in praise of taxes was not well received in the Wooden Soldier Restaurant. Not right after we got our property tax bills in the mail just this last Friday. It was a grumbly coffee session this morning. One man's property taxes had shot up from $3200 to $4000. That's $333-a-month rent to the town on top of his mortgage. His brother's property taxes in North Carolina are $800. And he hardly has a fuel bill. Taxes. Fuel. When it rains, it really rains. It's awfully expensive to remain in this, the 48th sunniest state in America (therefore the third cloudiest).
Cute cloud Curt!
