If someone's part of the "public" then its provided to them for 0$, thats the deal. If they are an adult in that area they might pay for it in taxes, but most places won't limit access to local taxpayers. There is nothing underhanded happening there. Its provided for a group of people and those people use it within the guidelines setup for them.
Of course it is. I don't know who you think you're disagreeing with here.
Im sure you will have as little to say in your next reply but do try to actually make a point.
Interesting considering you had a lot to say without making any point at all. What exactly is the point you're trying to make here?
