They repealed the tax after the LCYC bills were sent with the tax added In June. Please pay the bill you received but you can contact me to get reimbursed for the approximately $7 tax you were charged. Please provide me with a copy of your bill and a request to be reimbursed. If you do not request the refund in writing, by Sept 3, 216, the tax you paid will be considered a donation to LCYC. We are not refunding on your next bill because the accountant will charge to redo all the member bills each time we change a bill and that cost is more than the taxes collected.
