Oro Valley Resident Letter To Explorer Re: Property Taxes

We don't know Mr. Lewandowski, but we hope we all read his letter to The Explorer.



Can't fight City Hall; can elect proper occupants


Yesterday I received my new property tax valuation, up more than 9 percent over the previous year. Yet, recent sales of my neighbors' properties show that property values continue to decline. Perhaps many of you are having the same experience.

There is something that we can do in order to protect ourselves. Coincidentally, last week, The Explorer published all of the candidates' views on starting a property tax here in Oro Valley. The results are in. Only Mark Finchem and Don Emmons came out categorically against initiating a property tax.

Likewise, among the three mayoral candidates, only Mike Zinkin has come out against starting such a tax here.

We can't fight City Hall, but we can still elect the right people to be in it.
