Show Budget hearing Dear Sir e. e N Your recent comment in your Jack Straws column confirms confirms confirms con con- firms my suspicion that you view with exasperation the complaints voiced at a public budget hearing by what you term small tax lax payers but wince fawningly at the first intimation of displeasure at the trend of public expenditures by bythe bythe bythe the large corporate taxpayers tax taxpayers taxpayers payers of our county And ironically I hope it turns lurns out tobe to tobe tobe be a matter of lucid revelation to your readers the haughty and snobbish disdain in which you hurl tacit insults at their expression of dissent at the budget meeting Perhaps the time has arrived that someone gets the message the small tax payer is so beset with exasperating regulations the incursions exactions devious interferences interferences in in- into his personal by petulant petty officialdom that he is ready to tor r revolt olt by expression of his dissent in any fide bona-fide forum open to him Far from being dismayed by this development I am elated that an aroused element of our citizenry are ready to assert their rights against the officious posture of public officials who have manifest a public damned attitude in the manner in which they hold the public trust accorded accorded accorded ac ac- corded them And I hope the memory of the ci citizens will note this expression expression expression ex ex- of yours along with along with a similar asinine and sneering comment of the clerk-auditor clerk ofa of ofa ofa a year ago when they exercise their right of public protest and their right of franchise f and that they remind public officials that they are public servants and newspapers that they have have- havea a amoral moral responsibility in reporting factually matters that concern the public weal Respectfully yours ALVIN G G.
