To the Editor:
I and many, and I do mean many, have to laugh at the five Sumter County commissioners believing that they received only a FEW complaints about the new 25 percent tax increase. These guys must have been asleep at the meetings I and others attended.
At the last budget meeting, out of many speakers, only TWO expressed approval of the increase. As we know, at these meetings, other options for raising the funds for this unnecessary increase were given by concerned voters only to be ignored by these five so-called representatives of the people, no, actually representatives of the Developer.
Actually they are five ARROGANT men as shown by their refusal to take individual votes on the budget as requested by a taxpayer. It is time for these five to go; if only there was someway to do so before August 2020.
