Tax on Avery Co Land voted down

Last week many people reported that Avery Co residence had voted to approve the recent Avery County Land Transfer Tax, which was proposed by they Avery County Commissioners. The re-evaluation process confirmed the erroneous counting performed by the Avery County Board of Elections.

Today, it was confirmed that the vote to approve the Avery County Land Transfer Tax was denied by the residence of Avery County. It was a very close vote, will numerous negative statements mentioned against those lobbying for and against the ballot.

While I am not a resident of Avery County, it is my opinion that the Avery County Commissioners overstepped the boundaries of legal voting and may have swayed many voters because of their actions.

Many people I have had the opportunity to talk with completely disagreed with the Avery County Commissioners and their actions before the voting took place.

For the twenty-fourth time, the proposal has been turned down by the North Carolina residence. Going forward from here, we will continue to see the North Carolina people vote against local county commissioners. Maybe after 24 votes, the commissioners will stop wasting our money and allow the voices of nearly 8 million voices be heard.


Thank you,
