Muncie property tax woes make Boston newspaper

From the August 14th Boston Globe: Man pays big tax bill in coins, $1 bills
A landlord said he wanted people to see the pain of his property tax bill when he hauled $12,656.07 in coins and $1 bills to the county treasurer's office.

Cary Malchow said the heavy load left him "out of breath" but it was worth watching three cashiers working overtime and guarded by sheriff's deputies on Monday to count every last cent of the semi-annual payment for his home, business and rental properties.
Ok, it is a protest and in itself that means being a bit of a jerk. The Globe did not mention why Malchow was protesting.
