I would support a small property tax assessment  so long as it provided more localized dump stations.  30 miles is too far for many folks who can dump for free in 3 miles, or less.

Even in my Toyota, for me to run to Kettle to dump is 50+ miles round trip, and then add on the 12 to 14 bucks to just get rid of a short bed load of house hold.....usually 6 to 8 contractor bags of garbage.

Many of the folks around here just dump on their own land......disgusting in its own right.

If we are going to pay a tax, it has to be free ( dumping ) and localized, and in no way should this be rolled into a State Income tax......everything we ask for is immediately ran in that direction by Olympia......you'll see........
