Subject: 2% land fund
I have been a supporter of the 2% land fund from property taxes for a while now and believe it a good investment for
our islands future needs. I would oppose any changes or reductions to this fund. I have not followed the details of the
county council's treatments of this fund, but the information I've been receiving is disturbing — funds collected and
nothing done with them, except to pad the general budget. I would REALLY like to see forward progress on land
purchase, trail building and measures taken that would assist in directing these funds (follow through champion) to
completion such acquisitions and necessary improvement tasks to have these lands purchased, access development and
maintained in a usable state from this fund. It is a great partnering tool that could be used with other non-profit
organizations to create these areas.
