Phone Number: 9196070109 <br /> Message: <br /> Come on guys don't make all your citizens pay for something used by a small percentage. <br /> There has to be a better way! This kind of thing is why our county cannot come together on <br /> anything. Rethink this, do we really need to tax the citizens that have no use for this and make <br /> it free for the ones that do??? <br /> From: Robin Lackey <br /> Phone Number: <br /> Message: <br /> Hi, I just wanted to voice my concern on the taxes that will be discussed tonight. For one thing <br /> the taxes are totally unfair all the way around. I and many neighbors do not have any use of <br /> the transit system, so why should we have to pay for it? It does not benefit anyone in the rural <br /> areas. To me this is just another way of giving some and not all a "free ride". I as a farmer, am <br /> taxed to death as it is. I pay this county over $4000.00 in taxes now and that's just property <br /> taxes. Seeing as how I own several tagged vehicle's, I'll also be paying more too. I hope you all <br /> see fit to vote all these taxes down for now. "Working" people have a hard enough time <br /> making ends meet now. If these taxes pass, you all are doing nothing but enabling <br /> "entitlement". <br /> From: Carol Carden <br /> Phone Number: 9197328018 <br /> Message: <br /> You all plan to vote on some new vehicle tag fees this evening and this citizen would like to <br /> say I am VERY much against these fees! Why is it that the citizens of rural Orange County <br /> have to continually support the needs of Chapel Hill???!!! The vehicle tag fees that you will be <br /> considering tonight benefit only those in Chapel Hill and do nothing for the rural citizens! <br /> I've worked in Chapel Hill for 25 years now and very rarely take advantage of the transit <br /> system in this town. If Chapel Hill needs money for the Transit System they need to go back to <br /> selling bus passes like they did years ago. The transit system is basically for the students <br /> anyway, so have them buy bus passes to use the transit. <br /> Rural citizens can NOT afford to bear another burden of Chapel Hill and the greedy <br /> commissioners from Chapel Hill. It saddens me to see our county overrun by folks who weren't <br /> even born here! Native citizens to this county are now the minority but yet we are asked to <br /> support those who MOVED here from other states. I wish you all would go back to where you <br /> came from! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carol Carden <br /> From: Renee Parker <br /> Phone Number: <br /> Message: <br /> Dear Commissioners, <br /> Please consider what you may or may not impose on the people in this county with the <br /> proposed vehicle tag fees or tax increase. Is it really fair to tax the whole county and only part <br /> of it will benefit (Chapel Hill)? I live in rural Northern Orange Co. I do not have access to <br />
