Dave -  You sound pretty strong about being taxed for services you think you don't benefit from.  This is Orcas: A COMMUNITY with a supportive  spirit!   With your concerns about meaningful social service: What are you telling us about you, as well as your priorities?  Are you upset with the representatives that a majority of us elected?  Or perhaps you're unhappy that our community cares about the people who live here and is willing to tax even your guests for the privilege of their visit here?   Have you considered that when you invite people to stay in your home (for money) you are inviting them to share our parks, library, senior center, Orcas Center programs, medical facilities, airport, as well as to enjoy the benefits of affordable housing  (teachers, firefighters, sheriff deputies, and store employees)?  Don't these amenities (paid by taxes we voted for) make your facility more attractive?  Dave, it's attitude, not money, that builds community.
