I'm struggling over how to vote. I'm sick of being taxed for every little thing and I see no benefits for my particular little corner of town. As a matter of fact, with the houses that have been abandoned on my street, and the drivers going down the road flinging trash out their windows, I dare say my area looks the worst I've ever seen it.
Yet tax burdens fall on us working tax paying homeowners.

I'm voting no---we have been trying for 15 years to get our road paved---tired of our tax money going to pave others

Hers's two more no votes. We live on a cut thru street and get no help with speeding and no thru trucks. This is nothing to speak of tons of garbage being thrown out on the way to the by-pass.

SR 36 does not need to be 4-laned. Let's stop wasting money on "road improvements" and either leave it in the pocket of the taxpayers, or spend it on something we need. How about more deputies on patrol? How about another 911 dispatcher? How about better schools? How about more than one paid firefighter on duty at a time? How about maintaining the roads we already have? Has anyone driven City Pond Road lately? It's a mess. I'd rather see it fixed than any dirt road get paved.
