• <br />December 14, 1995 <br />Sherburne County <br />Sherburne County Co -Board <br />133880 Hwy 10 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Dear Board Members: <br />DEC r 811 <br />I was unable to get to your meeting this last Tuesday but want to <br />protest the estimated tax proposal. I don't know if letting you <br />know how I feel makes any difference anymore but I feel I must say <br />something. <br />why are my taxes going up by $50 -60 dollars every year ?? I not <br />only get socked with high taxes but assessments for street <br />improvements which ohly made way for sewer & water that went <br />through Fresno Street 2 years ago, which we didn't need. It was only <br />a means to get to the developments on County Rd. 30. <br />We are suppose to have one the fastest growing communities, <br />therefore Sherburne County tax dollars should be spread around. <br />I feel every year a tax burden to me and I don't feel I have any <br />choice but to move which I don't want to do either, so I will keep <br />protesting. My family has lived in Elk River for over 50 years - <br />we shouldn't be forced out of the very town we grew up in. <br />Property taxes are too high and as a board (County & City) you <br />should come up with a different way to raise taxes that don't <br />burden the people. Now I see you just gave raises to some of the <br />county employees. Maybe your budgets are too high ?? Your <br />salaries? Your big City ideas? Please think about the people of <br />this community and their financial burden the county and the city <br />place on us. Can only the rich make up this community? <br />S7cerely, . <br />Gwen R. mzth <br />18290 Fresno Street <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />cc: Elk River City Council <br />41 School District <br />
