To the editor:
The article Sunday by Bob Miller on tax increment financing was very interesting. If the developer cannot do the whole project, then he should do it in increments without taxpayers' money. I have and always will object to using taxpayers' revenue to support a developer's dreams. The proposed TIF should be voted on. Let the taxpayers decide. I do not think it would pass. If TIF is passed, you can be assured the taxpayers will remember with a vengeance any tax increases in the future.
