“Stop raising my taxes and cut where necessary,” Bernie Doud said as he stood on the corner of Center and State streets in Orem. He held a three-panel, white cardboard sign that read in large all capital letters “Shame on Orem City, 25 percent tax increase,” among other phrases calling for voting action against the city council.
He had gotten a lot of honks and thumbs up from passersby in the busy intersection during the couple of hours he stood outside of the Orem City Center on Saturday.
“Live within your means,” Doud said. “If you only have a certain amount of revenue, you can’t steal from your neighbor.”
Orem city originally proposed a more than $3.3 million increase in property taxes and reduced the increase to $1.7 million after public outcry at a recent hearing in the city council chambers." Herald Extra.com
