Chris Johnson and Jim Mork have posted about taxes vs. amenities and the role of the 2 central cities in the economic, social, and cultural lives of the metropolitan region.
I believe that they stated the FACTS (emphasis added) and then gave a brief political economic analysis of their positions. I would hate to see this discussion fall into the sewer of polemical, ideological, us vs. them, arguments. To characterize these problems merely as city versus suburbs reduces the issues to mush. They are important to the entire region and they deserve to be discussed and argued about without reducing people to cardboard stereotypes. David Wilson Loring Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
