The following is a letter to the editor:
The
people are blind if they do not see a tax hike and guess what, its
coming like the election is. The tax hike is set for the 16-17 budget,
well after the election and is a 1 cent property tax hike. The people
will ask why and its not for food hardships, mental health, food deserts
or East Greensboro but for debt service. The people can rejoice they are
paying for the megasite water extension and TPAC. The statement is
clear in the budget highlights, highlights for whom I ask?
So people I say be happy with your council
that they will increase property taxes, Go vote them back in and we can
be proud to have the highest property tax for any city,number one in
something I guess is better then nothing. I also like to mention we had
little to no budget meetings, wow I wonder why.
