[RP TownTalk] 15% higher taxes....

[Sarah Wayland]

I'm so glad you copied our District 3 team, because the County Council has
the power to do something!

You should write our District 3 County Council representative (Dannielle
Glaros) and provide specific information about your proposal. This is a
great example of a way that our citizens can help our leaders govern more
effectively by providing them with information.
