The following letter is in response to the article, titled 'Midland facing ‘severe’ pressures, with 5-6% tax hike possible', published Oct. 1.

Midland wants to put the taxes up 5 to 6%.

Midland residents are mostly seniors who are underpaid in their pensions and will face hardships with this increase.

It is not the citizens problem that the council screwed up buying a contaminated property and meters for the down town.

The council also sold the PUC which provided $500,000 a year to the town. What did the town do with the money they got for this transaction?
