| I am a homeowner, taxpayer and a senior
citizen and I am very concerned about all the tax levies
in our county. With high prices, our citizens are
getting very tired of all the taxes we are faced with.
I attend and enjoy the senior center on West Main
Street and especially enjoy knowing our tax dollars are
not depended on keeping the center open. The senior
center on West Main Street does not receive any of the
money from the levy, even though they are also a
nonprofit senior center. All of the activities at West
Main Street are free. I do not have to pay anything for
all the activities that they offer. Why is it costing so
much to keep the Center for Seniors at Sunrise open?
I feel the taxpayers of this county are not aware of
how much tax money the Center for Seniors at Sunrise
receives and what the money actually goes for. I feel
the cost of the payroll for their employees takes up a
lot of the money that our taxpayers are forced to pay.
The rent for that center with utilities is around
$10,000 per month.
I feel there needs to be another way of funding for all
of the levies that our taxpayers are now forced to pay.
Please consider everything before you go to the
polls.
