I would be most happy to do so. CM If your a member of the legislature, yes. BTW we routinely raise taxes to fund projects that benefit people in other parts of the state. Your income taxes, and real estate transactional fees go to benefit people directly, who live no where within 100 miles of you. People in Burnsville have been taxed to support various projects in Mpls. Guthrie, Schubert, Stone Arch bridge, even the Metrodome. As long as there is state aid to local jurisdictions, there is suburban taxpayers paying the freight for Mpls specific projects.
