Accidental Insight

Truer insight into the municipal mind was never gained than the following line from a column in the Shepherd Express:
    As strong feelings about preserving the City of Franklin's natural areas clash with the need for a tax base to pay for the amenities people need to live there, the peaceful setting this southern Milwaukee County suburb is known for has been disrupted.
Yep, it's not about an efficient, inobtrusive government and a low tax rate; it's about the amenities.

Municipal governments feel the need to compete with other municipal governments' water parks and whatnot, regardless of whether their tax bases can support such ongoing expenditures.
