Canal taxes already higher

Dear Editor:

For 29 years living on a saltwater canal here in Palm Coast, we have been paying much much higher taxes than those who do not live on such.

And where has all that extra tax money gone? Why has it not been put in escrow for perpetual canal dredging as needed? Perhaps the city considered it just a luxury tax for a pretty view.

Now they speak of a special assessment for canal owners — it seems to be that we have been "specially assessed" always!
