A pay cut for residents
We the people of Eden declare that when government spending soars and our tax bills rise faster than our incomes, we lose freedom.
Our city manager says “lean times are ahead” and “spending will outpace revenue.” He recommends the city council “consider how to reduce spending internally before the city faces a funding crisis.”

Support county schools
Our county is in economic distress, and business owners looking at Rockingham County for potential job sites take the quality and capability of our school infrastructure into account when making their decisions about where to locate. Voting yes for the one-quarter sales tax increase Tuesday will help attract employers as well as to better prepare our children for jobs in the 21st century
A vote for children
The sales tax increase amounts to 25 cents for each $100 spent or one penny for each $4. The tax will not be charged on unprepared food, prescriptions or gasoline at the pump. Sales tax is a point of purchase tax and what is collected stays in the county.

Common sense?
But if one looks around Rockingham County today, increasingly, government and society have become one.
Can you name the largest employer in Rockingham County? How about the second largest? If I told you they both began with the words “Rockingham County” and are taxpayer funded, would you be surprised?

Exercise your right to vote May 6. If you believe more tax money is needed for government services, or that the new tax is critical for education regardless, then vote for it.

Your deeds of service exemplify the words of Christ, “When you have done it unto the least of them; you have done it unto me.” I pray the Lord will rain his blessings upon your ministry and organizations for answering that call to provide for those who are less fortunate.
