Hello Supporters,

On Tuesday December 2nd the County Commissioners will vote on approving the LLMD Property taxes as recently communicated to you in a letter ($99.89/upland property per year).

To oppose this measure email our Commissioners and author your formal objections per the directions in the recent letter from the County:

"The LLMD must present how their taxation rate of upland parcels was determined and explanation to how it conforms to RCW 36.61.160 Special assessments - Calculation. Simply believing that by lakeshore owners paying more than upland properties that conformance with RCW is met is grossly misunderstanding the law and definition of fair."

Commissioner Emily Clouse: emily.clouse@co.thurston.wa.us

Commissioner Rachel Grant: rachel.grant@co.thurston.wa.us

Commissioner Tye Menser: tye.menser@co.thurston.wa.us

I calculated our fair share of the taxes and it is on the order of $2-$20 per year per property. Our park provides more tax revenue for the LLMD than the publicly owned boat launch and park across the lake that combined have almost 100,000 boaters and swimmers per year. We should only be required to pay our fair share.
