LETTER: Can’t afford it

I would like to know how the school board of Port Angeles thinks homeowners and, indirectly, renters can afford a $655 increase in their property taxes.

And this is only for a home worth $250,000.

That is a low figure for real estate these days, so many people will be paying a lot more than this.

This is a huge chunk to come out of a family’s budget every year.

When a homeowner has a problem they usually fix it as soon as possible.

They don’t let the problems pile up and then tear down the house and build a new one.
