Dickinson County property owners are being asked to approve yet another 20-year millage for Bay College. As someone who feels taxed enough already, I have to ask: When does it end?

Twenty years ago, Bay College was gifted land here and funded its local campus with our tax dollars. It’s amounted to millions of our tax dollars over the past two decades! That was supposed to help them get on their feet. Now, two decades later, they’re asking us to sign up for 20 more years of taxes to support the college.

Meanwhile, Dickinson County students still pay more than Delta County students to attend. And Bay College already receives funding from the state, federal government, tuition, grants and private donations. Why should local property owners keep being the fallback?

This isn’t about being anti-education — it’s about being realistic. Our property taxes can’t be a permanent solution for every institution that asks. I’m voting NO on Aug. 5 because I believe we’ve done our part — and then some.

Enough is enough.
