I want to publicly thank Representative John Ley for his immediate transparency and dedication to keeping Southwest Washingtonians informed about how our tax dollars are being spent.
There’s a quiet but aggressive push underway that threatens to make living and working in Washington even more unaffordable. We’re already the fourth most expensive state to live in, and here in Camas, between the state’s increasing taxes, new local fees, and a proposed new Fire Authority, we are TAX EXHAUSTED!
Thank you, Rep. Ley, for standing up and working to protect the hardworking residents of Southwest Washington. Your efforts to shed light on these issues are greatly appreciated.
