What Does the Council Think About Taxes?

To The Editor: Let's hear from the council people!!

As most of us taxpaying property owners are disgusted with the "unfair" taxation on devalued property and seemingly lack of concern by those in charge, we should hear what our council people think about the present situations.

After all, if they truly are thinking about and representing their constituents of the four wards in Washington, I feel we have the right to know how they feel about an unfair practice, even if it is required by a stupid law.

Hopefully, they haven't forgot what most of us learn in American History classes, something called the cry of "taxation without representation!"

So, before we start hearing about the next local election, maybe we might just get some insight on how these council people think about fairness when it comes to the process of levying taxes.
