be gone, Vamanos!

I was refering to the RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAXES COLLECTED BY THE
MOOCHERS
OF DUPAGE COUNTY AIRPORT.

Does that bill separate out the taxes paid by the users of the airport?
In a lot of states, the local government collects taxes on aircraft and
hangars and puts the money into the General Fund. If some money is
coming out of the General Fund and going to the airport, it is just a
matter of bookkeeping.

The breakdown is such:
From http://www.napervillehouses.co=ADm/property_taxes.htm


Taxing Authority 2003 Tax Rate
DuPage County .1999
DuPage County Forest Preserve .1419
DuPage Airport Authority .0230, (over $20 from yours
truely)

Do you whine when some of your tax money goes toward roads or parks? How
about schools, when you don't have any children?

This is an airport group, besides I consider the value of road taxes to
be reasonable, and not restricted to benefit less than ONE PERCENT of
the population, ditto for schools.=20
