St. Bonifacius officials are considering seceding from Hennepin County

The officials of the town of St. Bonifacius are considering seceding from Hennepin County and into Carver County. Between the high taxes and having to push to get county services completed, it just doesn’t seem worth staying.
According to the Startribune Mayor Rick Weidle said, "Our tax dollars seem to find their way, very quickly, to Minneapolis and its pet projects”.
The Minneapolis Shadow has pointed out before that the problems Minneapolis officials create don’t stop at the boarders of Minneapolis. Here you have a town that is part of the same county as Minneapolis, and finds itself questioning why they should have to pay for the freight brought on by the reckless decisions made on behalf of Minneapolis. The folks in St. Boni have it figured out. A well run affordable government is better for the citizens. Take a hint Minneapolis and city bound Hennepin County officials.
