Letter: Camas votes for responsibility

By Gary Perman, Camas
Published: February 19, 2025, 6:00am

Camas voters have spoken, rejecting the proposed utility tax increase and standing for responsible budgeting. We fully support our police and first responders, but this tax represented an unnecessary financial burden on residents. With already high property taxes and rising fees, Camas must prioritize essential services with existing revenue without resorting to repeated tax increases.

Voters sent a clear message: Demand fiscal responsibility and accountability, collect what is owed to our city and stop passing the consequences of poor financial planning onto taxpayers. Thank you for ensuring Camas remains a safe and fiscally responsible community. Your voice matters.
