It's not the greed of the local __authorities__, it's the will of the __voting public__. Let's say your county needs some new boondoggle. It's near election time, and when you walk into the voting booth, they are two choices: 1) raise taxes on you, via increasing the property or sales tax 2) raise taxes on people you'll never meet, via an airport tax on rentals. which switch would you pull? >Any tips on reducing the tax burden greatly appreciated. > Yeah, take a cab or minivan from the airport to your hotel, and pick up your rental car away from the airport, saving the 10% tax. >Thanks! --raj (raj@shiela.com) -- ------ Eric J.
