Letter to the Editor

Recovering from IRS mess could take years

Friday, March 2, 2012

To the editor:

My wife and I are originally from Blytheville and were home visiting two weeks ago. This city has changed dramatically. It may be hard to tell if you have never left and came back, but it has, trust me.

This tax thing is awful for all involved, but if you think not voting on the tax hike is your way of punishing the people behind the problem, well, that is a big mistake. It will take years to recover from that. The people responsible will be gone and you will be looking out your front door at piles of garbage that can't be picked up.

I know it's hard to do, but I don't think the people really understand what this will do to the town I once was proud to call home.

For what it's worth.
