down hours. The gentlemen over here, I forget 'i,- name, but
he said that we had 878 employment rate. That sounds good.
I don't deny it either, when I say it sounds good. I believe
one of the other gentlemen here said that hospital rates
had doubled. Is this correct in the last four or five years?
My salary hasn't. I don't know about yours, but mine hasn't
doubled.
I am just concerned. The thing is when taxes go on,
I think we've all been around long enough to know they never
come off. Isn't that true? They go on, they never come
off.
a I am just concerned. But I would not, as it seems
the plea has been, may this vote. I would in no way deny
or request that anyone deny a vote on this thing. If
there be more people who want the taxes raised, mine go up too.
If there aren't, then there are some others that feel like
I do.
I appreciate this opportunity to speak and voice my
feelings that I am not in favor of raising taxes, not at
this time. Though the 878 sounds good, I think we are all
aware that the general economic climate is very shaky.
878 could be very fortunate here in Iredell County, but overall,
the economic climate as we know is shaky and when it will
more directly affect us, we don't know. And was pointed out,
the hospitals will be able to pay back this money borrowing
unforeseen economic difficulties? Who knows what's up ahead?
