Dain Lyngstad likes the idea of residents banding together to pay for alley plowing directly. Come to Saint Paul, we've been doing that for more than 22 years. One person one the block works with the plowing company or individual, the winter's cost on our block is $12 - $14 per household, if I remember last year correctly.
On the other hand, this means that it isn't deductible on the federal tax return, because it is not a tax. What do you do if someone in the middle of the block doesn't want to pony up for their piece of the action? Lift the plow by their garage and then drop it again?
