Right or wrong, the people of Roberts County are for sure about one thing - now is not the time to raise taxes.

What people must wake up to is the fact that, if our state doesn't balance our budget soon, we will be completely out of reserves (due to our structural deficit the past 7 years) and an automatic increase in property taxes will kick in.

Now is the time to re-prioritize and tighten our belt: at home and in government.
