I want to talk about the “greed factor” of our local government here in Prince William County. I have been unemployed for some time not of my own choosing, and I am currently living out of my vehicle.

I have been unable to pay my personal property tax this year due to my situation. The county now can put a stop on re-registration on your vehicle if tax is not paid. I have been paying taxes in this county
for near 40 years and have always paid. I need new tags on my car this month and won’t be able to do so because of a mere $347.00 owed. So there goes my current home and means of transportation
for searching for future employment, all because of a small sum of money.

I have had to readjust my lifestyle, what little I have due to my circumstances, so why can’t Prince William County? Talk about kicking someone while they are down; way to go PWC.
