No, no, no. When does it stop?
Dear Editor,
This letter is in response to your front-page article in Friday’s Dispatch titled “Mail in vote for library.”
No, no, no. When does it stop? I am sick and tired of everyone trying to get into my pockets for more of my money. Money, by the way, I have to work for.
The library tax just lost at the ballot box, now there’s this BACK DOOR effort to pass what was already defeated.
First the Gilroy Unified School District, then Gavilan College put bond proposals on the ballot, and now the library is looking for more tax money. Who next would like some of my property tax money?
It may not sound like a lot of money, but start adding them all together and it adds up. Besides my salary doesn’t increase at the rate these government agencies want my money. Does yours?
If these efforts keep up, how about letting only the property owners vote? Seeing that we’re the ones who pay the property taxes, let us have the final say.Of course non property owners will vote for these issues, what have they got to lose, or pay?
No to the library tax measure. That will be my vote. Just as I voted on the GUSD and Gavilan College measures. Learn to run your house on a budget like the rest of us.
I have to wonder what property taxes would be like if there were no prop 13. I pay over 5,000 dollars a year in property taxes. I feel that’s quite enough. Enough is enough no more.
Ray Hansell, Gilroy
