In articles in the Citizen last spring, the top tax payers in each community were listed, and Mr. Bahre was the highest taxpayer in Alton. As a resident in alton, I must say "thanks to Mr. Bahre". I believe the second highest in town was West Alton Marina, and my thanks to them for what they do with for our town and the boating public here on the lake.
All the "glitter" does not come cheaply, and as much as we "locals" complain about the "flatlanders", they are directly providing financial aid to some very small towns that thrive and depend on tourism.
