Editor,
Why does Rick Hill want to cut the benefits I receive from my city and my county? Property taxes help pay for the police and fire protection I receive, along with a long list of other benefits. No one loves property taxes, but they pay for a lot of the benefits we receive locally.
There are celebrities and other notables who own multi-million dollar estates here. Although they spend only a portion of their year here, the taxes they pay on those estates contribute to the benefits received by all of us. Are they the ones who are asking Rick to reduce their taxes?
I keep hearing Rick Hill is not in favor of a sales tax, yet I fail to hear him saying that he would definitely veto any sales tax legislation that came to his desk. Steve Bullock has promised us that he would use the veto to kill any sales tax bill.
If Mr. Hill is going to reduce our property tax, what does he propose to replace the funds that will be lost to our cities and counties?
