Does that mean we are expected to also pay for that as well?? Allowing anyone to raise taxes without any oversight is just asking for trouble in the future.
I guess you are saying that most people do not investigate the surrounding facilities or maybe even read the HOA agreements. Guess we need to better educate our population so they know how to evaluate big purchases.
