"so now I'm protesting by withholding my MRMA's until this is resolved."
The downside to this, is of course it prevents you from voting against unfair MMRA's, and the in the meantime your MMRAs continue to accrue. I'm not trying to change your mind, as previously stated I understand your convictions.
I just sent in our ballots. I don't believe that prohibiting poor people from voting and then putting liens on their property for not paying fees they weren't allowed to vote for/against is legal. And if it is, it certainly isn't ethical. Its sounds like something the rich elite or the mafia does: A shake-down. Pay to play. I can not morally support this. I understand the current board members did not create this situation, however as far as I'm aware there has never been a board that wanted to rectify the situation either. And the current board appears to be using this mafia tactic just like the ones that came before them.
So NO to the MRA, and NO to the budget, NO to the road mafia until this taxation without representation injustice is fixed.
I might have made jokes on this thread before, but calls from the wealthy elite for compulsory "pay to vote, regardless if you can pay, or NO VOTE" is not a joke, and it's WRONG.
