Keith says; Perhaps a micro concept of LGA should be strenuously applied within our City and among our city's "communities"? We as a City, could "...raise all the boats with the tide, instead of having some wealthy, vibrant communities dotting the landscape otherwise littered with poor, decaying, problemmatic communities."
Keith Reitman NearNorth Chris Fultan: Vicky's definition of LGA is somewhat off the mark. LGA is not designed to assist "small localities" per se. It is designed to equalize the tax revenue available to localities across the state, having cities with larger economic engines of business and commerce generating property tax for those cities and income tax for the state, help those cities which have few or none of those engines, for example, bedroom communities and isolate rural towns. It's an effort to raise all the boats with the tide, instead of having some wealthy, vibrant communities dotting the landscape otherwise littered with poor, decaying, problemmatic communities. As a state, we are in this together. Chris Johnson / Fulton REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2.
