KENT COUNTY TAXPAYERS ALLIANCE

The Kent County Taxpayers Alliance (KCTA) is calling into question whether the Interurban Transit Partnership (the Rapid) engaged is improper campaign activity in the city of Walker. On Tuesday, November 6th, city of Walker voters will be given the opportunity to exit the ITP and its taxing authority once the current tax renewal expires. On Thursday, October 25th, Walker residents found a mail piece from the ITP in their mailbox touting the benefits of mass transit signed by the Mayor and Mayor pro-tem of Walker. (Images of the mail piece can be found at this link.)... The Kent County Taxpayers Alliance was formed in 2006 to promote openness and accountability in local government. We believe that citizens can have the most affect on local issues and that's where were focus our efforts. Local government needs to be open and honest about what it does. Openness leads to accountability.
