Want to know why your property taxes keep going up.

I would like to hear some opinions on the STAR bond project and upcoming November election proposing a 3/4 cent sales tax increase. The STAR bond project includes the drag strip, a new athletic complex at the airport and a new sewage treatment plant. The tax increase would cover property tax relief, helping cover the drag strip if it doesn’t meet expectations and to also help cover expenses of a new sewage treatment plant. I have my own opinion on these two issues but I want to hear from other Great Bend residents first. Please chime in, tell me what your thoughts are.

Time to make it FB official. I am running for Great Bend City Council 3rd ward. For anyone that does not know me, I have lived in Great Bend for 60 years. I am married to Stephanie for 36 years now and have two adult children and two grandkids. That’s all for now, but more to come.
