Tax Boost Protests Raise Taxpayer Dissent in Tazewell
In Tazewell Virginia on April 11 a large public meeting of the board of supervisors drew many taxpayers upset by proposed increases. A general county levy up 10 cents and road head levies in Clear Fork and Malden Spring up 10 cents plus 3d cents in the Jefferson district are under consideration. The budget mainly reflects fixed items with little year to year variation, but advocates argue current 50 cent levy should cover expenses. Details showed 1,075 allotted to the general state fund already appropriated, 1,000,000 may be reserved, and two thirds of the rest to be distributed to cities towns and counties by governing bodies. The board adjourned to executive session on April 18.
