Who benefits from a new property tax?

To The Eagle:

A new tax on home and property owners has been proposed by an individual who has no property or home in his name in Wahkiakum County and agreed to by an individual with little tax liability in the county.

Could there possibly be a conflict with a family member who would benefit financially from the revenue generated by this tax? I would hope that is not the case.

Many of us in the county would go for a minimal tax if the sole beneficiary is the fair and fair grounds, not every wanting group or individual in the county.

The fair itself could generate a great deal more money if it would do things like raffles, beer garden during the fair and find more corporate, individual and business sponsors.

The fair has always catered to minors only through games, etc. In most counties, the fair is for everybody, young and old.

I for one am not ready for a new tax designed to enrich particular individuals or groups.
