To the Editor:
We live in Clearwater, adjacent to Safety
Harbor.
The Tropical Breeze offers us an
interesting, intelligent coverage of this area which we enjoy.
Having lived previously for 25 years in Delightful Dunedin, we have
found the lateral park along Bayshore, the village, fountain and
marina, museum, library and access to Phillipe Park, delightful
indeed. The fountain deserves special accolades as it is so
fittingly Florida!
The Letters and Editorials are
thoughtful and of interest, as well as the travel features. (When
we travel to Costa Rica in July, we intend to take a copy of the
Tropical Breeze).
Just a sentence or two on the June
Editorial: “So What Is It Really Worth?” You
accurately described the “Catch 22” property and
business owners are in. Increased value, increased taxes.
When you sell you will profit as we
recently did. The legislature has already proposed a plan that will
not work, nor do I believe the citizens will vote for it on January
29, 2008. Schools and everyone else would be left vulnerable. Then
what? Back to another costly special session? Perhaps a partial
solution would involve some type of tax deferral until the sale. It
would be nice if the character of places like Safety Harbor could
be preserved.
Sincerely yours,
Henry L. King
Clearwater
