Vote no on sales tax increase
To the Editor:
Here we go again. On the November ballot, the city of Fairmont is asking us to approve yet another half-cent sales tax increase. This is yet another local sales tax for the supposed ice rink and community center, which if ever built, will be Fairmont’s newest white elephant. And the Fairmont sales tax is already too high.
In our representative form of government, we have few opportunities to have a direct say in our taxation, But, in this case, you have the opportunity to tell the City Council that enough is enough. Please vote ‘no’ on the requested sales tax increase.
Thank you.
