[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3059331, member: 7900"] I kind of have mixed feelings about these actions, but to put things into some kind of perspective, the federal government, with mostly Democratic Party presidents, has "controlled" a lot of land, especially so in the West. Here is a link to a story that gives a perspective of how little the locals and state control the land within their borders. [URL='http://bigthink.com/strange-maps/291-federal-lands-in-the-us']Federal Lands in the U.S.[/URL] As you can see, Nevada, Utah, and Alaska have had a lot of land "protected" by the government. As such, I think that all of that land is non-taxable for the states and counties in which that land "resides." In essence, the federal government is seriously hampering the tax collection for local schools. [/QUOTE]
