Only going to get worse, AuntyM. We live in a State that is apprently not a very good place to live, but a great place to die. A lot of folks coming up here to get old after making their money elsewhere. They're not in a hurry to do much, so they plug up the roads, stores, rivers, boat lauches, etc., build a 4000 square foot house while joining an enviromentally active group, get on an exemption so I can pay their share of the taxes, and then tell me how much they are "contributing".
