In reference to the story on May 30, "County to consider property tax for land conservation."

I hope other readers didn't fall asleep from reading about yet another vested interest in picking taxpayer's pockets before coming to Dr. Elton Gissindanner's quote: "We believe the timing is right because we just voted ourselves a tax break back in January." As soon as some money frees up, there's someone looking to get at it. I'm sorry Mr. Gissindanner, I prefer to keep my tax break (puny as it was.)

I urge everyone in Highlands County to speak up against this proposal before the NRAC slips this in quietly through the back door.
