Last year the American Fork City Council proposed a property tax increase and 20 million dollars of new debt. I wasn't on the City Council yet then, but still vigorously opposed both the tax and debt increases. Thankfully, voter's in American Fork City agreed, and resoundingly rejected both the higher taxes and the additional debt (AF City already owed 56 million!). Over 70% of voters rejected the tax hike.
Now American Fork City appears to be poised to again seek higher taxes, this time with an "arts and parks" sales tax increase. Hopefully those on the Council, who are elected year after year by saying they're fiscally conservative, will show their true colors and join with me to vote against putting an Arts & Parks SALES TAX INCREASE on the ballot this fall.
