You know, Steve, I think some of those Non-Minneapolitans also drive on our
streets or swim in our lakes or play softball in our parks, all without
paying for it!
Gee, do ya think maybe we should set up tollbooth checkpoints at
the borders of the city? Or maybe just accept this as one of the prices to
pay for living in the big city & the economic heart of the state?
If we want to get into all the myriad of ways in which the city
residents/taxpayers subsidize suburban/rural areas, that's a whole new (&
lengthy) discussion.
