Feb 2 is also the day quarterly property taxes were due in many towns.
Tax day always brings out the anti-tax complainers on the local FB pages. What I found ironic though, was the peeps complaining about having to pay property tax ("you never really own your home so long as you have to pay property taxes") were also the ones bitching and moaning about the ongoing snow removal, and bragging about (or recommending) calling Town Hall or DPW every hour to demand more and better services, to demand their street get taken care of first, to complain about the sidewalks in their neighborhood, etc.
Where oh where do they think the funding for all those plows and plow drivers and dump trucks and front end loaders (plowing isn't enough, the snow has to be scooped up and removed to a "snow field" because there is no room, and piles are too tall to see around) is coming from?
