| Our prices are really up and down lately, but this morning it was $1.27 a litre. That works out to about $4.80 a US gallon, or $5.72 a CA gallon. Ouch!! Last edited on Fri May 23rd, 2008 11:46 pm by Redd |

The tax base has taken a dump too with the state property tax laws. See, if the house was taxed based on a $500K appraisal and the house has lost value. The homeowner can have a new appraisal done the property taxes have to be reduced.
Another trick to "create" more money for the cities to spend is red-light cameras. Run a red-light and a camera snaps a picture and mails you a ticket.
Funny part is, none of the city leaders have suggested a spending cut. Governor (Arnold) did and everyone got their panties in a knot and are pissed off at him... They started puting in those red light cameras here. They have been up a year and now rear end accidents at red lights are up by 1000 percent.

One guy here in Indiana drilled and struck oil in his back yard was on the news last nite. He's getting about 3 barrels per day right now out of it. Has invested $100,000. in the drilling set up he said.
I read something about that somewhere... Forgot to mention said he gets approx $400. per day right now off of it. Indiana used to be a big oil producing state. Wish I had a big drill....
