No increase in taxes in Cape Coral

Thank goodness council has taken the appropriate action and realize the depth of the economic problems we are facing in Cape Coral. With our industry in such termoil and the fall out to other businesses and fuel prices at such an unreal high the tax payers are figuring out how to get buy.

An elderly neighbor of mine (she is maybe 84) was commenting that when they were planning for retirement people just didn't expect to live this long. Her money is fixed and with the price of all these things going up so much they struggle to make ends meet.

I want to make them stop with the constant comments of slower response times for fire and police. We have more police and fire people per capita than the city of Chicago. We have a ton of other services that we can cut and think more budget minded. Thank you Cape Coral for your efforts to help your citizens. They need it.
