The amount of tax increase on tazewell county citizens

Dr. Mark J. Matney

A lot of taxpayers have been in the dark about your tax rate that was never changed. The rate of `58 cents was left on the taxpayer after the last re-assessment. I did a FOIA request and the number not to have raised your taxes after the last assessment would have been 47 cents. So, for the last two years you have been paying a 11 cent tax increase. That is 11 cents more due to the higher assessments. That is not 11 cents total that is 11 cent raise on every $100 dollar of value. So, for two years in a row your supervisors have voted in a high tax increase for you to pay. I JUST DO NOT THINK YOU THE TAXPAYER SHOULD BE IN THE DARK WITH WHAT IS GOING ON!
