The open space tax should stay in effect, but it needs just to be spent on preserving actual open space, not on boat ramps, bike paths, athletic fields, historic renovations. Just spend the money buying and preserving real open space. The funds should only be used to protect land from being lost to more development, which ruins scenery, destroys wildlife habitat, and results in higher property taxes which more development always brings. We don't need more "growth". The open space tax funds should be used to preserve open space and nothing else.
