Letter To The Editor: Legislature Is Ignoring The People On Property Taxes

I just looked up how much the state of Wyoming has in surplus funds and it was $950 million.  If that is the case, why is the state of Wyoming raising our property taxes???

Dear Editor:

I just looked up how much the state of Wyoming has in surplus funds and it was $950 million.  If that is the case, why is the state of Wyoming raising our property taxes??? 

According to the Washakie County assessor, property values are subject to the tax rate set by the State Legislature.  You would think that instead of fighting with each other for two months, the parties could spend a little time trying to be fair to their constituents. 

That tells me that we Wyoming voters need to pay more attention to the quality of people we put in office to represent us.
