The Property Tax Vote, disguised as a Public Safety initiative ramps up. At the March 7, 2023 Town Council meeting, Vice Mayor Kroyer emphatically states, “nothing is being done by the Town of Carefree to sway people (to vote) one way or another”. Three days later she publishes an editorial where Vice Mayor Kroyer writes, you can vote for the “gold standard of protection or the degraded protection of our current system”. That’s a bit like saying you have a choice between a luxury cruise or we put you in the middle of the ocean with a leaky row boat and a box of crackers… but you get to choose! This isn’t the first editorial the Vice Mayor or Mayor have published recently. What makes this ironic is less than 8 months ago they were heaping praises on Rural Metro and signing a new 5 year contract to extend service with Rural Metro until 2027. This vote May 16 is not about public safety, it is about Carefree leveraging fear to get more of our money…this time in the form of a Property Tax. VOTE NO TO A PROPERTY TAX.
