"...higher taxes to cover for the Navy's expansion" To what "higher taxes" are you alluding? To what  "expansion" are you referring? When did the Navy ever have a funding line for the "school district"? When did the Navy Ault Field or Coupeville OLF flight patterns change and / or become "irregular"? When did the Navy pollute everyone's drinking water? (Methinks all your allegations are generally untrue exaggerations and / or out-of-context factoids).
