They just approved a 50 dollar wheel tax. That will encourage a few to move south, or north, or west. Of course, it won’t make my property value to increase but a penny or two, but every bit helps. Besides, it’s really long term anyway. We all know that the fifty will always increase, never decrease. Who knows what it will be in a few years.

When a person looks at that long term, they just might decide DeSoto County might be better than Shelby County to call home.

Well, there is always that traffic problem but that will be here anyway. The folks from Memphis are flocking to the better safer and more convenient DeSoto eating places. I know. I can tell. On any given Sunday, Southaven’s Golden Corral parking lot is about half full with Shelby County car tags.

It’s okay. Y’ll just keep coming. We appreciate the business and the tax revenues. My guess is that over a year, Mississippi will make gain more off the extra sales tax revenues than Shelby County will gain on their wheel tax. Oh. And by the way, we appreciate the government up north encouraging the migration south.
