Prince Charles of the UK "chooses to pay income tax at the highest rate on his earnings from it, after deductions for expenses." "It" being the Duchy of Cornwall.
That's lovely news, really making a difference in an otherwise increasingly cynical world.
Of course, you would not read about this if there were no critics claiming that the prince is too generous with the deductions amid calls for greater transparency.
The folks here at the K-Landnews are not sympathetic to the idea of monarchy in general, but, please, give the man credit for paying at the highest tax rate.
Show us one other wealthy Westerner who does that.
While we are saying good things about a royal, let's express our gratitude to the motorcade on a sinewy country road, going in the opposite direction. They could have stopped us or done all sorts of patriotic things to ensure safe passage of the royal cargo, but they behaved nicely, went their way and let us go ours.
Quite a different picture from closing down huge stretches of Chicago freeway for some minor mayor's first day in office.
