Myself and many of my neighbors have short term rental cabins,and we depend on the income for the ability to even keep our properties and continue to live in our home.We are already taxed by the county and the state,and we lose property tax benefits as well because we rent out part of our homes. Enough is enough! The worry and uncertainty that we have been going through this last couple of years has kept all of us on edge. Can you imagine not knowing if you're going be able to keep your home because the council may decide their own ideas how we get to use our property?We are taxed enough.We pay more property tax than others. Now the state is going to add more tourist taxes. Paid parking downtown!We're sick of it. SICK OF IT! If you want to see a genuine grass movement to vote every one of you out of office you are going to push us to that point. Enough is enough! Uncertainty over the economy,and how it is going to effect tourism,the Trump administrations treatment of people visiting this country,the coming inflation due to tariffs,and NOW you want to add more fees and taxes on top of everything else? Stop it. We are squeezed enough.We have enough problems to worry about aleady. Read the room! Kevin Fox `—' c-) z+c . ter-` c9 ''%: Comm. o • Ref. To: ) ''r /5.litY' 1 Ref. Die r — 6
