Dear Jim, 

 

I am writing to address a matter of significant concern regarding the vacant lots at Laurens Bay. Over the past ten years, it has become evident that your considerable influence has afforded you exemptions from paying taxes and special assessments, obligations that ordinary citizens are required to meet. This disparity is deeply unfair to the taxpayers of our community, who bear the financial burden of maintaining public resources while these properties remain in your possession without contribution. 

 

After trying to address this issue through civic action and electoral efforts for accountability, I now appeal to your sense of responsibility.  By voluntarily transferring these properties to the local land bank, you would enable the city to pursue equitable solutions that benefit all residents. Such an action would not only correct a longstanding injustice but also demonstrate the integrity and leadership expected of someone in your position. 

 

I respectfully urge you to do the right thing and take this step to restore fairness. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further.
