Good point. Perhaps this is a topic for a another thread, but unfortunately, not only can people who own no property vote on property taxes, they can vote on issuing debt in the form of bonds (general revenue) which are guaranteed by the issuing municiipality. In other words, people who own no property can vote on issuing bonds against those who pay taxes which back the debt, and who will eventually, pay for it. Amazing.
