@PurpleTitan , for once I am actually seeing some benefit for being a full freight taxpayer for 35 years. My residential road has not been paved in 20 yrs, 40% of every dollar I pay for local school taxes goes elsewhere and I have seen every manipulation possible of finances and marital status to reduce EFC. My DDs are going to graduate in 4 years, not the 5 that most people recommend by taking 18 hrs/semester vs 12. My DD took the hardest courses they could in HS so they could get some flexibility for courses in college. My family, for once, is actually on the receiving end for the tax dollars I have paid and I am grateful for that and I will continue to pay my taxes without complaint.
