Good. No taxation without representation, no exceptions. Hopefully this will soon be statewide.

Roll Eyes Tourists pay taxes. Children pay taxes. Should they get a vote too?

Tourists shouldn't pay taxes, and we should have a tax reimbursement system like the EU operated by the states to account for this. Hence, they should not be able to vote. I am firmly of the belief that someone who does pay taxes, no matter how young, should be elligible to vote, at least for the authority that levied those taxes.
