Dear Editor:

I would like to know.Considering the industry that has moved in this area, Long John Silver, Arbys, Giant, Aldi,Wal-Mart, and Lowe's soon-to-be, why are our property taxes sooooo high?We walked past one of the Lehighton schools, one summer day, the windows were open, and the air conditioner was running.This is a waste of money.Nobody seems to care about the taxpayers' wallet.Sincerely,Joanne ShanoskyMahoning Township
