Kudos to the clerk's office for participating in the rise of short and medium-term interest rates.

Unfortunately, the rise in interest rates has been caused by a rise in inflation which has affected all Manatee County citizens who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living. Use the interest rate windfall to roll back the recently announced utility bill increase and enact a variable property tax credit for fiscal year '24 and beyond.
