Anyone who does not realize that this increase on taxing fee's at the landfills means that the taxpayer will wind up paying more for their trash pickups to make up the difference.
One way or another the tax and spend crowd in Lansing are going to tax the individual more -- even through the back door.
My husband is retired now and once the housing values start to climb again, if ever -- I will seriously try to convince him to sell our home and move out of Tax and Spend Michigan.
