Former mayor on property taxes

To The Eagle:

Tax men are never popular. Just as Bill Coons. But in a state with no personal income tax, communities and public activities too numerous to list depend on taxes assessed on property and businesses. Some of the allegations thrown at Mr. Coons in these pages are outrageous. Last week, he responded to them admirably – which reinforced my sense that he is a dedicated public servant.
