Government
Who Represents You?We Believe In
The Davis County Republican Party Executive Committee is deeply disappointed in the decisions made by several governmental entities in our county to raise property taxes this year.
At each Truth-in-Taxation hearing, citizens showed up and spoke out. Their message was clear: families, seniors, and homeowners are struggling. One senior citizen recently emailed our County Chair describing the "terrible stress" these tax increases are placing on those living on fixed incomes. He conluded with a sobering warning:
"The increased burden of property taxes is getting to be overwhelming. We need help if we are going to stay in our home."
No Utah, especially our seniors, should fear losing their home because of excessive taxation.
Government at every level must remember its responsibility: to live within its means just as every family is expected to do. The Republican Party Platform clearly affirms the proper role of government:
"The function of government is not to grant rights, but to protect the unalienable, God-given rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness."
We call on all elected officials in Davis County to prioritize fiscal restraint, safeguard private property, and stand with the citizens who depend on responsible governance. The people deserve better stewardship, and it starts with saying no to tax increases.
