I noticed when I lived over that way that Columbus suburbs don't seem to be hurting much for money.

Here, we have a university, God alone knows how many churches, a major FBI compound, federal courts, and a major railroad yard that are exempt from taxes. (The railroad thing goes back to Congressional action in the 1880s.)

Personally, I think that churches should pay taxes. It looks to me like a violation of the seperation of church and state to exempt them.
