12 1 Gene Williams said he lives in White Cross community, and he feels the County is doing 2 a great job with recycling now. He said he and his wife are dedicated to recycling, and he has 3 talked to a lot of people about this issue. He said expecting residents to pay an additional tax 4 for recycling is not right. He said a friend of his said if the County taxes her, she will throw her 5 recycling in with her trash. He said this tax will alienate people who are trying to do a good job. 6 He said residents are paying a high property tax now, as well as a fire district tax. He said 7 adding a district tax will only add more, and this is too many taxes. He said he spends his 8 money in Alamance County because there is no industry or retail in Orange County. He said 9 this lack of industry is why residents have to pay more tax. He said this district tax is just one 10 more tax that residents don't need. 11 12 Chair Jacobs said the answers to the questions will be posted to the website. 13 Gayle Wilson said this is correct.
