"Yes, I would support it because it sounds like they are going towards the fair tax and I'm very much in favor of the fair tax." HENRY ANDERSON Retired
"No, I had rather it stay the way it is." ANNETTE PARSONS Billing specialist
"Yes, I would support the change because everyone has to pay sales tax and only property owners pay for property tax." ELAINA WOODS Student
"Yes, I would support it because it's becoming one of your higher taxes for local business people and farm owners in Wilkes County today." HERBERT W. BAILEY Retired
