Tax increase is small price to pay for a brighter future

| January 18, 2006 8:00 PM

What price do we put on the future of our children? There are people in the community planning a supervised community sports complex; its motto is "strong kids, strong families, strong community."

What price for healthy interaction, education, sports for our children? Less than you could imagine, folks; a small tax increase we get back in healthy, happy families. Generous matching donations from people right here who want this town to grow, our families to flourish.

It's only in the planning stages, let's get it going, fine-tune it and give money where we can see it — productive, happy kids. I don't call it a small tax, I call it the future for seniors, adults, and our youths we hold most precious.

Vote yes.
