The Kent Reporter is doing an outstanding job in providing news that is pertinent to the community. Thank you.<\/p>\n

I want to add my voice to Brent Benson’s letter (“Property tax unfair to homeowners,” May 18, Kent Reporter). Up until this year, I have always supported any levy that provided funds for schools and community safety. The continual increase of property taxes has made me unable to support these needs for the community.<\/p>\n

There are many of us in the Kent community who are on fixed incomes, and the continual rise in property taxes has made a great impact. I wholeheartedly agree that all residents in our city should help share the costs.<\/p>\n

I am hoping Mayor Dana Ralph can become a trendsetter to have the community expenses shared by all who live here.<\/p>\n
