In response to Paul Kuettel:

Sitting and watching something that is terribly, terribly wrong also costs taxpayers. 
For example:

-Letting a GSE plant pollute an urban environment while people pay to cover their 
health costs is expensive, both to the individuals and those of us who are in the risk 
pool for insurance companies.

-Watching "NCLB" money be pulled from failing schools is a cost to taxpayers who paid 
the cost of building and maintaining schools. Empty public school classrooms may be 
what some want, but they create a burden and do not fully maintain our past 
investments.

-If this were a national forum, I'd mention the billions of dollars it costs to run a 
war that was not called for, but this is Saint Paul issues so I'll try not to digress.

NON-activism and watching public servants squander money costs too.
