[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 422000, member: 816"] it isn't the state's job to pay for plowing your city, township and county roads. it isn't the state's job to fund your city parks and recreation programs. it isn't the state's job to pay for your grade school. it isn't the state's job to fund your... you get the picture. nor should it be! the more local your tax need, taxing authority and tax collection, the more you have the ability to affect change in all of the above IF YOU WISH. asking the locals to come up with another way to fund stuff is one thing. asking the state to foot the bill is absolutely asinine. how would that even work? we just put together our own township budget, send it to the state and expect them to fund whatever the hell we ask for? imagine the wishlists. you think we have spending problem now? wait and see how that pans out. or are they going to have discretion? if they have discretion, now we are relying on some legislature from fargo to make budgeting decisions for some township of 50 people north of williston?!
