We honor Mary Lee Webb of Charlottesville, a true hero in the Albemarle County and Charlottesville tax-increase revolution.
An inspiration to the terminally undertaxed across this community, Ms. Webb’s heroic spirit and sacrificial disposition are demonstrated clearly through her desire to pay more taxes to the government she so loves. Her sentiments are wonderfully expressed in this concise and heartfelt letter to the Daily Progress:
Higher taxes needed for community win

Published: March 5, 2010Not raising taxes is a no-win situation. When we pay taxes everybody is helped — education, mental health, transportation, the desperately poor. All suffer when taxes are not raised, when the needs are so great at this time.
Raise taxes! Yes, I will vote for whomever does so. I love this community.Mary Lee Webb
