snipped the quote.

We already have a view tax, that was implemented a few years ago. Should have heard a friend of mine, (that has a hillside farm with huge views) tell the story of the town tax official, trying to explain why he needs to pay a tax on a working farm that has been in his family for over 150 years.

A friend of my parents owns a large vegitable farm and stand in Loudon on the ridge road and has plans of putting up a large barrier to prevent anyone else from enjoying his view, since he has to pay a tax on it. We will see, think he was just blowing off steam, but I cannot blame him if he did. We would be talking about a 1/4 mile of road frontage.
