There are many properties with exemptions sent to out of town addresses <br /> Enforce existing rules. There have been many dedicated and/ or ag use rates on fallow properties. <br /> The private sector is making bone deep cost cuts. Have you? <br /> If you are planning other changes in the current tax rules, please tell us now. Incremental revisions made without <br /> being given the whole picture, even a general one, seems to be wrong to me. <br /> S' cerely, <br /> fib-~-~-- <br /> f~, ~ <br /> E.
