smithy - this threads on flood levy - stay on topic

LOL, your the one posting these tangents I'm just making you earn your opinion with difficult questions & history.
You brought up governments ignoring warnings
You brought up "levee's" being a state issue, hardly on topic there seeing as I pointed out LEVY'S are the topic.

with 60% of people not paying anything, I dont see how that is 'spread fairly'. in fact, it is barely 'spread' at all!

I must say that I am also puzzled how only 40% paying the levy is a fair spread Undecided

Forgive my asking, I must have missed the reference - where is the 40% figure from?
