   "All that extra paper work" amounted to about 5 lines.  The   
   fillable-PDF even calculated the amount for you.  So much for "all   
   that extra paper work".  Oh yeah.  I had to sign my name too, so I   
   guess it was burdensome afterall.  FWIW, we paid about $600/year on   
   the ITAX (our property taxes are closer to $4k, for comparison).  It   
   was deductable on my Federal Income Tax Return.   
      
   As for "local tv news", is that still on?  Does *anyone* rely on it   
   for information?
