I'm a resident/property owner in Alabama. If you read the entire article, you would have seen this portion...
"Legislators whittled away at the Confederate tax through the decades, and millions of dollars that once went to the home and pensions now go to fund veteran services, the state welfare agency and other needs. But the park still gets 1 percent of one mill, and its budget for this year came to $542,469, which includes money carried over from previous years plus certificates of deposit. "

I see nothing wrong with the park retaining a portion of the tax for upkeep. It is there for the enjoyment of our citizens, and yes ... it honors a part of our state history. I am more than tired of being told I should be ashamed of my southern heritage. On my father's side of the family, we have a General who served directly under George Washington. On my mothers side, a Surgeon who served the Confederate Army. I am equally proud of both of these great great (etc) grandfathers, and I make no apologies to the English.. nor the North for their service.
