My mistake. But I would be happy to spend my tax dollars on it, even if I never visited it. I pay taxes for schools never attended by family members of mine. I've never ridden a boat on the Bricktown canal but Im glad its there. My point is that if we're going to be members of a community, we can pay taxes for things that don't benefit us directly. That's being a good citizen. And the favor is returned by other citizens.
