HomeMy WebLinkAbout112023 email Oppose Port Townsend Aquatic CenterALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. My understanding is that the Port Townsend Aquatic Center will impose sales taxes on all of Jefferson County to pay for a bond for $22,100,000. I do not want to be taxed for this project proposed for the city of Port Townsend. I live in the Cape George Colony Club home owners association and ALREADY AM PAYING FOR A YEAR-ROUND POOL AS ARE ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY. An aquatic center in Port Townsend is useless to those of us who already have a pool for an amenity and members of Kala Point Home Owners Association are paying for their pool which is available for six months out of the year. In the November 7, 2023 election, voter turnout was just 43.69%. Four Port Townsend city council members ran unopposed. I do not vote for these people. The voters who are keeping these people in political power for years on end are the ones who must pay for projects that come out of the Port Townsend City Council. This is a city council that can't even keep up road maintenance and comes up with a tax for that purpose. Oppose the Port Townsend Aquatic Center. The whole county should not be burdened by the poor judgment of the members of the Port Townsend City Council. Use common sense! Thank you for your attention to this topic. - Judith Caruso 41 Vancouver Drive Port Townsend, Wa 98368
