LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Voting for Homola would raise taxes

Editor, On the Island County Board of Commissioners, Angie Homola was out of control with our tax dollars. She spent her time protecting bureaucracy and friends, while cutting funding for sheriff’s deputies and pursuing tax increases. All told, Homola voted to raise our property taxes 13 times. After voters rejected her extreme agenda and defeated her in 2012, she’s back this year running for state Senate.

Editor,

On the Island County Board of Commissioners, Angie Homola was out of control with our tax dollars. She spent her time protecting bureaucracy and friends, while cutting funding for sheriff’s deputies and pursuing tax increases. All told, Homola voted to raise our property taxes 13 times.

After voters rejected her extreme agenda and defeated her in 2012, she’s back this year running for state Senate. She’s running on an agenda of tax increases to pay for more government spending.

Governor Jay Inslee wants to implement a state income tax. Angie Homola would be another vote toward a state income tax, and a spending agenda we can’t afford.
