LETTER: Save Binning House, but not at taxpayers' expense

Dear Editor: I was amazed that "WV Offers to Take on Binning House" was a front page article (Feb. 16). Although I believe in heritage conservation, I do not believe the municipality should be paying for it.

Dear Editor:

The Binning House is not so significant to our community that our taxes should pay for "repairing the aging home." There have been many character homes in this area, but there is also very expensive real estate here. I agree with Coun. Craig Cameron about our district's budgetary challenges ending this development.
