On most web bowsers, clicking this link will display a pre-formatted e-mail message directing the associated county supervisor to vote against all tax increases and in favor of the County Executive's 0% budget proposal. Find your county supervisor on the list and consider sending YOUR directive. Remember, it their job to represent your desires and values or face the consequences.
