In 1993, my house taxes were $945 a year. In 2022, they were $3,644. Next year they are going up another $562 to $4,206. The taxpayers of Duluth just voted down an increase of taxes to take care of our parks in Duluth.
And now some genius wants to build a 15-acre park called a “greenway” over Interstate 35 (Local View: “ Cover more of I-35 to create more connections to Lake Superior ,” Jan. 12). Who's going to pay to maintain this 15 acres year after year? You guessed it, the property taxpayers.
I just hope it isn't shoved down our throats like the Red Plan was without a chance to vote on it.

Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters; or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive Local View columns of 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
