It's a matter of your property value, thats taxable, and then .1 mil which is $1 for every $1,000, so a '$200,000' really is getting taxed $200 and where does this money even go? Who gets it? Who deals it out? What does it get spent on? Why cant the city pay for it already? Why FORCE people who dont care about a bad zoo, pay for it? Detroit has no clue, non. Someone needs to let the zoo close just like other states in this country. Bad people, in control of bad money, start to make a bad state that turns into a bad country. People parish for there lack of knowledge. Idiots i swear! No one is smart. Yea just keep listening to the news, my god your stupid.</description></item><item><title>zoo</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248783.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:25:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:248783</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous Citizen</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248783.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=248783</wfw:commentRss><description>its sad if you cant spare $10 a year to put a smile on  a childs face</description></item><item><title>because the only</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248782.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 17:36:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:248782</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous Citizen</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248782.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=248782</wfw:commentRss><description>way they can pay for a free zoo for the democrats in detroit is to have the republicans everywhere else to "check the box" and pay for it.</description></item><item><title>Why?</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248781.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 17:33:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:248781</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous Citizen</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/248781.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=248781</wfw:commentRss><description>Why do our know-nothing legislators have to come  up with these 'make work' ideas?
