The County is considering two possible BALLOT MEASURES in November for voters to decide:
1. If the TOT, or BED TAX, should be increased

2. Whether CAMPGROUNDS AND RV PARKS

Oh yeah increase the population by 40% and you will be complaining about that next.
Not complaining just trying to get some answers to some questions what’s interesting is the population has remained unchanged whats up with that and I’m sure the small businesses wouldn’t complain
All homeowners have to pay school district taxes. I don’t think many absentees have kids in school. But if they were allowed to rent their houses, the tot would flow! And don’t think that they should rent long term, they won’t. They want to come and use their house periodically.
