I am a retired Warren County resident living on a fixed income and although my mailing address is McMinnville, I do not live in the city. Therefore, I had no say in the vote on the local sales tax option which took place last week.

As a result of the increase in the sales tax, I will no longer purchase anything in McMinnville. I cannot afford to pay the highest sales tax in the state and I certainly will not support it as I had no vote on the matter. City residents may have bought the bait that out-of-towners could pay for services only they would benefit from, but I’m not buying it.

There are communities only 30 minutes away from my home which have a lower tax rate. I’ll patronize their businesses from now on. That’s the way I’ll exercise my vote on what has happened.
Sincerely,
