>>1934644Frankly I have many ideas that would save the poor taxpayer.
People should be able to trap and kill vermin on their own land, you should hire a cage like you would for possums and it should come with a way of poisoning the animal AFTER you trap it- in case you got a cat or something.
>federal pest serviceVermin is a national issue, the integration of state and municipal services would provide room for private sub-contracting, and cover gaps where local governments are not ready to respond.
Basically the federal government hires farm hands in the off season to form hit squads and kill all the bloody foxes that eat my chickens, we pay them privately if required, they get free shooting licenses as reward but the federal service gets to clear out crown land
>opt-outs for municipal servicesCouncil rates have been increasing out of control as a way of council to generate revenue without applying for state or federal funding.
That money is a "black box" that is often user corruptly or wasted, because unlike a state application they don't have to justify shit to anyone.
>share rubbish bins>opt out of green waste>smaller/communal waste bins for combined residences.downsides are minor nuisances, financially the saving is huge- especially for those one a fixed income or who produce primary resources instead of an income.
Houses and even communities should be able to opt out of water, gas and electricity charges if they don't use the services- resource companies would kvetch so hard.
>General smallfoods certificateJust like you would a food handlers course.
certifies people to sell fresh produce that hasn't been treated with chemicals, legitimizing the already common village bartering of jam and vegetables- but importantly creating a defacto organic certification (which is akin currently to the kocher tax).
