Dear Bernie

Thank you for your letter dated March 05, 2010, requesting information on Saturna Island’s Parks & Recreation Commission’s recent budget increases as well as our spending.

These questions apparently follow SIPOA’s recent look at our island’s taxes which showed, among other matters, that the 2006-2009 tax increase for Parks & Recreation was 70%. That is without question an eye-catching statistic.
