I guess I don't understand the word "share" with respect to taxes. We pay taxes to fund the government, they use this money to do goverment work: build and staff schools, build roads, pay the police, fire, feed the poor, care for the elderly, where does "share" come in?
All she is saying is that her little island can do this better by themselves than as part of Gilford. Now I don't know this women, she may be dead wrong on the finances, but she has a right to persue this. We should all pay attention to where and how are taxes are spent and always be looking for better ways to provide the government functions.
