To the Editor:
I wish someone could explain how an agricultural acre generating minimal tax dollars then is developed to generate millions of dollars and we have to have a tax or an impact fee increase?
And while on the the subject. why an increase in fire protection tax? Then on the back burner when I bought into The Villages I had to take a bond out and am paying for it over 20 years! I was told this was for future development?
Rep. Brett Hage’s proposal of 3 percent, although shady, does state the obvious that taxes, impact fees, or anything else need to be reasonable and regulated.
