We are sure that plans are already underway for the third annual festival in 1979. FOR YOU, THE TAXPAYER This week's issue of "The Independent-News" contains something that many people w ill see. glace over if they even look at them at all. and go on their way. We are talking about the budgets of seven different tax-supported agencies . . . these agencies surviving solely off taxpayers dollars. These should be of great importance to ail. Too many people take all this for granted and yet complain about taxes the rest of the year. It is true, that often nothing can or will be done if a person isn't happy with the tax situations, but also there is always a public hearing held on these budgets of the various organizations and different ways a person can protest if they so desire. If nothing else, the public hearings can air out any questions that may arise concerning the hows and whys of the various tax rates from the towns, townships, schools and libraries. These hearings are announced in the budgets and are public for public participation. One budget will confuse anyone who reads it ... it confused us and also confused the parties submitting it. That is the budget (?) of the Walkerton. Polk. Lincoln. Johnson Ambulance Service. This is a budget w ith no taxpayers money involved, no expected means of raising money other than the subscriptions and charges of the service and no breakdown of anything simply because there is no tax dollars involved. It does in the opening part, spell out the expected expenditures but this, as we stated before, comes from the subscriptions and charges of the ambulance service. At any rate, the budgets are printed this and next week and are there for everyone to see and study. Participation at the hearings is usually void, but they are to be held for you. the taxpayer, if you so desire to exercise your right to attend and ask questions. WHEN...
