"Free Amelia" PAC founder Ed McCoy said Thursday that Ohio residents' decision to dissolve their village was "bizarre" but warranted.
After 119 years of history, almost 70 percent of the residents of Amelia, Ohio, voted to oust the local government after it secretly passed a 1 percent income tax on all residents and workers. The 5,000 residents who live there will now be split, with half becoming residents of one municipality and the other half becoming residents of another.
Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with host Steve Doocy, McCoy said it was a fly-by-night decision, adding that some residents said they found out about the tax change from a letter in the mail after the decision was already made. The village council approved the tax increase last year, without public input.

Can we do that with DC?
Repeal the Charter of the City of Salisbury
10:05 it is possible with enough support! End the double taxation!
Viva Eastern shore. We have Taxation without representation.. WE WANT OUT OF MD
Let me guess. Democrat controlled local government. Classic maneuver for them. Pass a bill in the middle of the night without any public input. Remember the ACA passed in the middle of the night while America was sleeping? The democrat congress didn't even read it. When America woke up, it was law. Democrats can't be trusted. They think America is stupid, and the ones that vote for them ARE.

The last time I checked, we still have the right to vote for representatives in Maryland's House, and Senate. We have representation in Maryland's government, but no power. Not enough people here to get any power. Frankly, I hope there's never enough people here to get any real political power. Then our rural area would just become like Baltimore. And if we had to survive on our own, our roads and bridges would fall apart, and there would be no social programs. Be careful what you wish for. You want out? Move!

Yep, you are correct. Every person that votes for a Democrat IS STUPID! Every Republican that votes for a Democrat is even more STUPID! Every Republican that voted for Socialist Jake Day is worse than STUPID!
Every Republican that endorsed Socialist Jake Day will pay the price in 2022. This includes Larry Hogan, Mike Lewis, John Cannon, Mark McIver, Muir Boda, Nate Sansom, Linda Luffman, Wendy Asspacker, et. al. If there are any further names of Republicans left out please add them so we can keep a running list of RINO's to vote against in 2022.

What part didn't you like? Don't like true statements, or don't you like being educated?
And that's all you got? The best you can respond with? If it is, then look in the mirror, because you are the idiot. Or a moron, I'm torn over what best describes you.
You are a real IDIOT!!
