Holly,
 
Oh, don't worry.  A lot of your neighbors wondering what the heck is  going 
on; I include myself among them.  This election cycle brought out  MANY of 
questions in my mind regarding what is going on in our  town. 
 
I look forward to meeting you on Monday.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of concern  about
the property tax increase.   I guess all of you who
voted  for the mayor and current council are all happy
with the increase.  I  however am very upset.  You know
my husband and I for a long time didn't  put money into
our home.  we wer trying to decide if were going  to
stay here or not.  And as soon as we do the town wants
to add  buildings when we have vacant ones.  They want
to increase traffic down  our already busy street.  And
now to top it off a huge tax  increase.  Well I wanted
to personally thank the mayor forreally  throwing
another financial ditch for us.  As the mayor knows  my
husband has been sick for the last six months, has
lost his job, And  our health insurance is not an
option not to have accompanied by our life  insurance
and overwhelming hospital doctor visits and  medication
costs.  We have three small children and I'm trying  to
support us all.  Man for a town that doesn't wan t to
get rid of  blue collar workers you're sure doing a
good job.  Nothing like kicking  your fellow neighbor
when their down.  We already pay three thousand a  year
in proprty taxes.  Do you not think that is enough? 
And I'm  sure I'm not the only family in town that
feels this way.  Neighbors  wake up and speak up. Tell
your neighbors who might not be aware of  the
situation.  There is a meeting next monday at 7:30 
Please  come.  We have to take a stand. This is not
right.  And by the way  we did the work to our home to
help with the rising utility costs.  A  lot of good
that helped us now that taxes are going to be raise
27%  increase.   Pepco etc... can be crooked why can't
the  town?
