Letter to the Editor: Bringing homemade chicken soup, shoveling snow or watering the flowers when on vacation used to be how people showed love to their neighbors.

Dear Citizens of South Lake Tahoe, A few months ago, I wrote to you my personal opinion as one of your City Council members regarding my great concern about the multitude of unnecessary taxes being proposed in our city.
