Boy, somebody should nip this malfeasance in the bud before other politicians start imitating the idea:
A township trustee in northeastern Indiana won't be collecting any property taxes this year, saying the township has plenty of money in the bank.
DeKalb County's Union Township ended 2011 with $257,000 in operating fund reserves and about $157,000 in its poor relief fund, enough to last more than five years without collecting taxes, Trustee Craig Bassett told The Star of Auburn for a story Wednesday ( http://bit.ly/JyRx0v).
Not collecting taxes just because they don't need the money? Why, that's sacrilege! What's the matter with them? If they keep this up, they might start getting the idea that it's not their money they're spending. Then where would we be?
