THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR DAN MILLER

Dear Library,

I will not be voting for any tax levy. I suggest that you come up with a better way to balance your budget. Times are tight for me too but unfortunately, when I asked my employer for more money, they said “No” (though at least I didn’t get laid off!)

But taxes just don’t go away. Let’s say the economy has improved in 5 years when this levy runs out. Is it going to go away? Ooh suerie no. ANOTHER levy will come on and all the signs will say “Vote for the library – it won’t raise your taxes!!!” Once we start giving money, somehow it doesn’t seem to go away.

But having said all that, I do like the library, and as such, if a fundraiser is held, I pledge $50 from the Dan envelope towards the library. That is the approximate property tax value that the levy would generate. I know that may not seem like a lot to some people but it’s a lot for me.
