Let me try again

It seems my Sunday column angered some of the leadership of the Whitfield County commission. They are unhappy with my opposition to the proposed 20 percent reduction in the inventory tax.
The odd thing is, I didn't say I was opposed to it.
What I said was supporters of the freeport idea need to make it clear to voters -- including me -- that this isn't another shifting of the burden of paying for government from industry on to the back of property owners.
I repeat the question: How will city, county and both school systems make up for the funding loss? Unless they can answer that question clearly, voters should not back the idea.
The ball is in their court.
