To the Editor:

We must speak out against this proposed room tax increase.

The county leaders may want it, but the citizens of this county do not want another tax increase. Our tax-and-spend county commissioners and their band of socialists want to increase the TDA tax from 4 to 6 percent. That’s a 50 percent increase in their taxes.

We the people do not want any more tax increases.

Rep. Michele Presnell, R-Burnsville, is the hardest working and most conservative representative we have ever had. She works for the people, not the county leaders who have already put us in debt to the tune of $68,713,290 and climbing, not to mention some $10 million in special revenue funds.

When will the county leaders start to listen to their constituents the way Ms. Presnell listens to hers? We the people put Ms. Presnell in office to stop people like our socialist county leaders, and I applaud her for her hard work and perseverance! 

And I can assure you, Ms. Presnell will get my vote again.
