Letter: Good job explaining tax and why needed

Re: Occupational Tax -- Who? What? Why?

Wm R Feese writes:
Very well stated article by Heather Bryant Spoon! She did a good job explaining why our county needs additional revenue and who would be taxed.

To have progress (and I think most of us want that) we’ve got to have vision. To paraphrase a former president, “ask not what your county can do for you, but what you can do for your county”. -- WRF
