Congratulations to Randall Cotton for his well-deserved article about his anti-war and local tax policy activism. I voted for the local property tax increase (aimed to help the poor) due to his activism. I don’t mind spending more money in taxes when the money will go to help those in need. Governments are in a position to collect and distribute money far more effectively than any private organization can do, and I don’t think the poor should have to rely on private largesse.

I agree. It’s about time one of Champaign-Urbana’s finest citizens was recognized for his good work in the community.
