Outrage With Tax Increase
Dear Editor,
I just went on Beacon to view my upcoming taxes and am outraged at the increase I saw.
My taxes went up 46.9%. I live in a manufactured home.
I was curious to see how this compared to county officials. Jackson – 21.9%, Groninger – 11.7%, Conley – 17.1%, Cates – 30.2%, Long – 9.1%, Wolkins – 11.7% and Truex – 17.5%. Almost all of these homes are far grander than mine.
I am on a fixed income and these kind of tax increases are unfair considering we are not seeing the same rate of increase in our county leaders.
