I have found, though, that if we treat disgruntled residents with respect, and give of our time in order to answer questions and educate them about issues of concern to them, 95% of the time they will leave satisfied with the explanation that was provided, and appreciative that the time was taken to provide it, even if still unhappy with the circumstances.

Very true, and if badly handled it can be the kiss of death.

I don't disagree with anything you've said. Sounds like your in Pa like I am. We went to a EIT some years back to avoid the reliance on just RE valuation and transfer taxes so we're not hurting quite as bad as other townships. That said, the peasants revolted when we went to them to get a raise in taxes for open space in a referendum. The school cost issue on it's many levels is really going to blow up in a few years.
