A
Most
of
us
probably
don't
know
that
monroe
county,
this
very
progressive
county,
has
the
lowest
local
income
tax
of
all
seven
contiguous
counties
in
our
area
and
we're
actually
19th
out
of
21.
Of
the
counties
in
our
region,
we
have
very
low
income
tax
rates,
which
was
not
always
the
case,
but
it
has
been
for
a
number
of
years,
so
we
have
room
to
do
a
very
modest
increase
in
our
income
tax
and
still
be
among
the
lowest
taxed
jurisdictions
in
our
area.
A
A
State
legislature
only
lets
us
raise
taxes
and
raise
revenues
in
certain
ways,
and
they
may
not
continue
to
let
us
raise
revenues
in
certain
ways.
We've
sought
to
have
opportunity
to
do
more,
but
they've
not
been
provided
to
us.
So
if
we
don't
move
on
this
tax
now
we
may
never
be
able
to
do
it,
certainly
not
in
this
way.
So
it
is
important
to
move
forward.
Well,
mostly
because
we
have
big
challenges
in
front
of
us.
A
Our
community
has
ambitions,
we
have
values
and
this
local
income
tax
will
help
us
put
those
into
place
in
ways
that
we
simply
won't
be
able
to
do
without
it.

the

that's

Our
office
weigh
in
with
your
views,
but
thanks
so
much
for
caring
to
look
into
this
question.
