Page 2 <br /> ~°he services that we do gat via tax dollars are shared by all -Police, Fire, Civil <br /> Defense, highway maintenance, street lights, parks etc.. We are in dire need of <br /> more Police Officers and Firefighters. We all need them and we all have had to <br /> call on them. fi <br /> hey need new equipment and weapons to combat increased <br /> crime. Our tax dollars can only go so far and a minimum tax of $100.00 is well <br /> within reason. <br /> sincerely hope that on Nov. 20, 2001 when this issue will be before you again, <br /> that you will aft have the courage to pass the $100.00 minimum tax bill. You will <br /> never please all of the people all of the time but it is most important that your <br /> decision- is based on what is right and what is needed and a $100.00 minimum <br /> tax is the right thing to do for all the services that the County provides to <br /> taxpayers. It has been long overdue. <br /> I do agree that properties that have been destroyed by lava and have no access <br /> should not have to pay any tax for a property that cannot be used due to a natural <br /> disaster. <br /> I sincerely hope that you will settle this issue in a timely manner. 1 truly believe <br /> that most of the people agree that $100.00 minimum tax is fair. I know I do and in <br /> a few years I will be able to take advantage of this very low rate which I look <br /> forward to paying. ~°he young and able should not be made to foot the bills for <br /> everyone else. We all are provided with the same County services. Again, the <br /> County does not provide electricity nor water to anyone nor does it provide roads <br /> for subdivisions. Developers paid for these amenities at the time of subdivision <br /> and buyers paid for it in the price of their properties in order to enjoy the <br /> amenities. It did not come from tax dollars. <br /> everyone uses our highways that must be maintained. everyone calls the Police <br /> or Firefighters when needed. everyone is protected by Civil Defense, we enjoy <br /> the parks, we have swimming pools -even in Puna. We all need to pay our fair <br /> share and $100.00 per year is not too much to ask. <br /> <br /> ~ 1~ ~"1 _)<.t <br /> Jani' All. Allahuna <br /> Prin ipal-Broker <br /> . <br /> <br />
