Where do your taxes go? Do you know?
In Tompkins County; the rural people pay the same county taxes as everyone else, but do not get any County bus service, Law enforcement patrols, Municipal water, Planning representation, or County outreach — and it’s the county’s urban residents; the ones who receive all of that, who are designated as “underserved” and given special attention.
This isn’t widely known — but then, we don’t get any media coverage either.
