We don't have the tax base to support the AHTD's profligate spending ways. To spend $100 with 100 people paying in, that is $1 a head; but to spend $100 with only 10 people paying is $10 a head. We don't have enough people to provide the facilities of a Texas or Louisiana or Tennessee or even MO or OK.
We already more per capita and these 5 piss it away.
Say NO! to issue #1.
