Letter to the editor

To the voters of Ekalaka and surrounding area in regard to the coming vote on the school’s housing bond:

The school is already fleecing the taxpayers in town and in the county. The school has already purchased property and housing, removing said properties from the local tax base.

The Town of Ekalaka exists on taxes. The county owns a lot of ground in Ekalaka with the courthouse, museum, hospital, fairgrounds, old county shop, and Carter County Schools — all non taxable grounds.

Everyone likes to complain about streets and other services like law enforcement, fire — all of which are paid for by property taxes, and not enough.

So let’s not enable the school to fleece those of us that pay taxes.
