a feeling that they're probably opposed to this. Mr. Dorso says he's tired of paying high taxes and I think everybody feels somewhere along the line this ~hing of taxes (inaudible) but I think in comparing Roseville to some of the areas in the City of Saint Paul and some of t-he ot:her communities - first 1~ier suburbs - I think because Roseville has taken the initia~ive and put in their sewer and water and bought out several wat.er companies and so forth in the process of doing so - we're in a position now while the taxes may be high, I think you make a comparison to some of the other communi~ies, our taxes are com- paratively lower and I feel there is a need for development in the community in this area and I think the only way we can de- velop this particular area is to go ahead and improve the pro- posed improvement.
