Letter: Don’t increase sales taxes

No more sales taxes. Kennewick can build its own expansion at the convention center. Why should we pay to have it built?

There are too many people on fixed incomes who can’t afford to keep paying more sales taxes. Vote no for sales tax increase. They can take a loan out just like everyone else has to. We need to stand up and let them know we don’t want any more sales taxes.
