GRANTS PASS NOW READER COMMENT:

Mr. Mackin,

The citizens of Josephine County are tired of the oppressive taxes that Government continually burdens them with. How many levies and tax increase measure must go down in flames before this county wakes up to its lack of performance. If this Government wants to gain an approval rating higher than 38% they should look at providing quality service and transparency in budgeting before going for our wallets at the risk of loosing our homes due to EXCESSIVE PROPERTY TAXES.

The citizens don’t trust this Government to spend their money in a responsible manner, they don’t want a Manager that doesn’t answer to the people.

How many ballot measures for more Tax Levies and Tax Districts have to be shot down before you understand that its about trust and effecient, friendly service by the County departments. Jobs and opportunities, growth and a future for our children that motivate the tax payer.

The current commisioners that you wish to work with are not aware of what the people want, yet you say you will work with them to do the counties business. So far the counties business is to take from its people with little to nothing in return.

Vote for Thomason if you really love your community.

Kit Doyle
