Albemarle County resident, Jim Crosby, has endorsed IMPACT’s concept of voluntary contributions to local governments in order to relieve their suffering under a crushing cash shortfall.
In March 9, 2010 letter to the Daily Progress, Mr. Crosby offers the following solution:
Leave the tax rate as it is to satisfy the “no tax increase” cry and invite those who want an increase to decide for themselves how much they are willing to pay to support county services and send that amount added to the tax bill.
This way the less well-off taxpayers only have to pay the tax bill and those better off and willing to pay more can decide for themselves exactly how much they want to pay.
IMPACT applauds Jim Crosby for an innovative and practical proposal.
Those wishing to donate to local or state government, as Mr. Crosby suggests, can do so through IMPACT.
