A significant amount of wealthy people are moving to St Johns county.  Does Jacksonville get fairly compensated from the people of St Johns County who uses Jacksonville's resources?

Only when they buy something and pay sales tax.  And then only 1% which goes to pay off the bonds sold for Better Jax. Oh, and some local option gas tax, some goes to JTA to run the transit (but this is going to expire in 2014[?] unless the we-hate-taxes City Council somehow grows a pair and extends it) and some to the city for street maintenance.

A solution to the problem.  Add these at the county lines...... ;D

When JTB had tolls, there was that effect for the PV folks!
