i I <br />V- <br />r=c JiiORONO CITY HALL <br />1335 BROWN RD. SO. <br />ORONO. MN. 55391 .NOV. 1 9 1800 <br />I received a NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX FOR 1991 as <br />a resident of your taxing district. I see that the city <br />proposes to increase its ta.xing authority by 13.1% for 1991. <br />I have not been able to understand the rationale for tax <br />increases substantially in excess of an increase In wages» <br />the cost of living index, or any other leading indicator of <br />the movement in the value of the dollar. It seems clear that <br />a population increase is not causing the excessive increase, <br />as I infer that information on the notice to imply. <br />In any event, please send me the necessary information <br />to demonstrate the need for the tax increase so I can <br />evaluate it on its merits. <br />If I used the methodology employed by the local <br />governmental units to get a wage increase or raise m; billing <br />rates, be assured that I would soon be unemployed. <br />Unfortunately, I have no choice but to bu: services frcir. you. <br />Please gi-.e me the courtesy of a r**sponse by return mail so I <br />can make a decision in my own mind i: the increase n’a.-ies <br />economic sense. Otht'rwise, T may be fcr'e'l -.o join all •‘he <br />other local citizenry in angry protest at your meeting on <br />proposed taxes. <br />Sincerely, <br />LEE HARREN <br />175 LANDMARK DRIVE <br />LONG LAKE^ MN. 5 3 33*3
