Disaster Relief Fund Form Included in North Canton's Tax Forms This Year
The city wants to remind you that you can contribute to the Community Disaster Relief Fund to help your neighbors in the event of a natural disaster
What started as a suggestion in September 2011 from Councilman Mark Cerreta has turned into a reality as North Canton residents start seeing the Community Disaster Relief Fund form in their tax envelopes this year.
The city is circulating the attached PDF to make residents aware of the change.
The fund will help those who are severely affected by natural disasters, such as the flooding many residents experienced this past summer.
"It's North Cantonians helping North Cantonians," Cerreta has said.

The cost of printing, folding and inserting the fund notice that was mailed out will likely be one of many taxpayers will end up paying for this idea. Why are other communities in our area not getting involved in what is the private insurance business? Because they are wiser than NC government is.
Think the chicken debate was a racket? Wait until people squabble over that a guy got his burned garage replaced from the fund but some one else did not get their back yard pothole filled in because they feel they did not have enough pull at city hall and why did the fire chief declare a disaster in his side of town but the police chief did not declare one on my side of town and how come the city can’t match what was contributed to the fund and on and on……..
