Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners<BR><B>FROM: </B>Nevada
Property Tax Revolt Committee<BR></FONT></P>
<P><B><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>Dear
Fellow Incline Village & Crystal Bay Property Owners,</FONT></B></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>Incline
Village/Crystal Bay is facing an 8% increase in taxable land values this
coming year. Three other areas of Washoe County are facing 22% to 27%
increases. Mark Schofield, Clark County Assessor, tells us he is looking
at increases in Las Vegas of 30 to 50%. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>As a
result of these huge increases in taxable values, it appears that
thousands of Nevada property owners are now facing the prospect of being
taxed out of their homes. This is no longer just an IV/CB issue. The
highly populated communities in Nevada are now looking at the kinds of
backbreaking increases IV/CB suffered three years ago. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular
size=-1>Thousands of fixed income retirees and working folks are going to
have to sacrifice their standard of living to feed the insatiable appetite
of Government. State and local governments have been willing recipients of
the windfall increase in tax revenue without regard to the hardship it
places on taxpayers. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular color=red
size=-1><B>This has to stop! </B></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>The
Village League will be an active participant in the debate over the "cap"
legislation. We are enthusiastic supporters, in principal, of legislation
to limit increases in taxable value. However we take strong exception to a
cap of 6%. We believe a more realistic and fair limit should be similar to
the 2% of Prop. 13 or the 3% limit in Oregon, or the cap should be limited
to inflation OR 6% whichever is less. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular><B>Lynn
Hettrick:<BR></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>Some of our
legislators are beginning to realize that something must be done. Lynn
Hettrick represents one half of Incline Village. We have spoken to Lynn at
length about the upcoming legislation to cap property taxes and he agrees
that something MUST be done about the double-digit property tax increases.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>He is
one of the strongest supporters of legislation to limit property taxes. He
recently issued an ad requesting you to call or email, to let him know you
support him. Let him know that you will be a strong supporter of his
leadership in the effort to pass legislation to place a limit on the
increase in taxable value. For those of you who do not receive the
Bonanza, please <A

<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular><B>Sharron
Angle:<BR></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>Sharron Angle
represents the other half of Incline and all of Crystal Bay. She made a
valiant effort to get signatures for a Prop. 13 initiative. Unfortunately
she started late and missed the signature count of 52,000 by a few
thousand signatures. She too has been an outstanding representative for
IV/CB and will be a strong voice on our behalf in the upcoming session of
the Legislature. For more information on Sharron, <A

href="mailto:%20angle@iglide.net">click here</A> to send her an email
message.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=-1>If
there was ever a time to have your voice heard, it is now. Please take a
moment of your time to call or email Lynn and Sharron and let them know
your support for their efforts. </FONT></P>
