j) l"; f -*, V d a I I editorial/comment Beyond tax rates there has been a lot in the news lately about that new group In town and what they're supposedly up to. We re referring to FIT, the taxpayers watchdog group which formed earlier this year and now culms a membership of several thousand. The leaders of the Fairness in Taxes group have said all along that they formed primarily to keep taxes Ln hand, given the city's history of annual tax rate increases. In the face of what some perceive as a threat to their lifestyle, at least one other group lias farmed, claiming that if MT gets its way, city services will be in jiopardy. We continue to believe that taxes can be kept down without any serious Infringement upon municipal services. After all* we have over $1 Billion worth of ratabies in this resort, Still, we would like to see PIT take on the other entitles which add to the cost of living in Ocean City, For instance» the water company and the cable TV firm are both readying increased rates for their services, Specifically, we would like to know what kind of wages and salaries the water utility Is paying — information that has been denied us. While taxes per se are not Involved here, w§ would still like to see the taxpayers* watchdog group take on the utilities, We would gladly report the results. And if FIT Is successful there, then perhaps authorities and commissions like the MUA, Garden State Parkway and county Bridge Commieston should be next, Saw Actually, most people are indifferent to Night in Venice Bnltfff| tXlntinEl*ljEugiin MB a volunteer for the past four Night in Venice bout parades, i would like to respond to Issues raised In your Dec. 8 Issue. First, your headline and bar chart at the top of page 1 seam misleading. Since your "clip and send" survey appeared in two Issues, and you only received 90 responses, It seems a more appropriate headline would read, "Vast majority of readcrs Indifferent to Night In Verta" While the statistics in Lee Steele's article seen overwhelming, the simple truth is that 61 people felt mat the parade should be eliminated, Sixty-one people out of the lOdiDOd plus Who watched or This was a challenging year for Ocean City By Mayor HO V OILMAN those of us who live and work in Ocean City have experienced one of the most challeticltig years in the hlsuy of Bui community. iffamy of the problems that live been brewing below {he 1 surface for years bub- Hie abuses of our ocean, which Cape May County kit been coming to ' sewage tyttm4 UoM mmwmt tftal helped lieep fte mtefdeati tASme i in Cape May Cotui' there l& nd douH eV«f, that We it/tie ittiti by the negative publicity f#«dtediit< which rtgtilted to ' this and previous adminUtraHons, Apparently, the steel tupport beams, completely encased by bride, had never been checked until our Public Wwks Department initiated a structural inspections program for dty buUdirigi.
