How can you call it a tax cut when budget goes up?
To the Editor,
The Lehigh Acres Fire Control District board decided to lower the millage rate on Sept. 6 from $2.79 per $1,000 of taxable property to $2.49.That sounds like great news when you first hear it. But the budget still went up 43 percent over the last year and more than 100 percent over two years ago.
This special-interest controlled board raised taxes instead of lowering them.Rolling back the millage to $1.59 would have saved taxpayers money and still maintained the excellence in care that we expect from our first responders.As your fire commissioner, I would vote to cut taxes, bring a business approach to the governorance of the board, and restore a voice for the common man on the board.Remember, a vote for Julie Barrett in November is a vote for a name Lehigh can trust.
