Why do county trucks drive thru cities with a load of salt,but,they wont spread it on the streets,It is damn foolishness,waste of time and gas.
Our taxes pay them no matter where they put the salt,plus they might save someone from getting in an accident.[/u]

There you go again, O'Keefe.....getting all RATIONAL and stuff....

Maybe I should run against Fuja next time.
It would be sort of hard because I can't hear,but they don't listen much anyway

You want to take my county tax dollars and spread them on the streets of Durand???????? NO NO NO NO! Let Durand salt their own streets! Those salt trucks are headed to my house!! Why doesn't the City of Durand come up to Caledonia Township and salt my roads!!!

Sorry, O'Keefe....but since you have demonstrated intelligence AND common sense in a public forum, you are hereby ruled out as a candidate.

I sure don't want my county tax dollars paying for salt on the streets of the City of Owosso!

Fritz Did you see the word Durand in my post?
I'm going to start watching for you in the Riverside parking lot.Might be a good fight one old blind man against an old deaf guy.

according to my tax statement I pay taxes to the county too. City people get a double whammy

Tomorrow at noon! Parking lot of Riverside Grocery! We'll settle this once and for all!!
If I am not there by noon you can start without me!

Darn it Kevin...just when I'm going to post a response on something I actually know something about, you beat me to the punch!!!!!

....Don't give up so easily, Honest Brad...we still need a referee for the big AARP fight tomorrow......

poor baby..........we pay township and county...about the same deal

Most would say city taxes are higher than township, but then look at all the benefits you get.



Where is that?

PLUS the Gasoline and License Plate fees we all
pay are divided among the cities, villages (with street departments)
and Road Commissions plus MDOT and Dial-A-Ride systems.

Normally cities don't like to use property taxes toward street
maintenance, but they do use property tax money for construction
projects to help match other money, including grants.

Townships use their state revenue sharing along with property taxes to
get road work done, with the road commission normally doing Maintenance only, except for major projects the road commission gets grants to do, like replace bridges, such as will be done on Lansing Road over the Looking Glass this year.

Just to add to ya'll's understanding

I'm SSSSOOOOOOOOOOO sorry!
