That is the cost of not having a tax system other than property and being sparsely populated. Not criticizing but taxes are what pays for COs, school bus drivers, teachers, police, fire, etc. No one likes taxes but they are a necessity if you want government funded systems. The alternative is to pay tuition, pay for private police and fire companies, etc. Most of these practices were eliminated years ago because they didn’t work, were corrupt, and cost the consumer more than government funded systems.
