    I paid my property taxes in April 2012 for the full year by check. It’s a checking account I rarely use and don’t monitor whether the checks clear because I have a carbon copy. I recently received a reassessment notice for 2011 taxes which prompted me to call the assessor’s office.

    Two recent letters to this paper have accused Helen Price Johnson of “tax and spend.” This leads me to ask the question, Since when does a county commissioner have that kind of power?

    We continue to wonder what else Langley can do to discourage small businesses in Langley. We enjoy dining out and went to one of Langley’s few remaining dining establishments this weekend — Mo’s Pub. Several of the few remaining parking spaces were blocked from parking. We parked a block away.

    Readers may remember my sounding the alarm about the apparent takeover by the Tea Party of the U.S. Postal Service. How else to explain the Lauderdale campaign sign on the corner of the Freeland post office. I’m pleased to see that it has been removed — by somebody. However, the Tea Party coup d’etat is still in full swing on the South End.

    To the editor:

    We retired to Whidbey Island nine years ago. All along our retirement goals were to support and mentor the next generation of youth in our community. We are proud to have the opportunity to serve and support young people in our schools, as well as several local non-profits on South Whidbey. This is our passion and among the most important of our life goals. In these tough economic times, we have purposely redirected all of our energy and donations to local, nonprofit organizations serving youth.
