Our Tax Money - How You Can Help

'Our Tax Money' (OTM) is a citizens' action group committed to addressing the increasing burden of excessive property taxes on families and businesses in our community. Our focus is on governments that tax the most and have the opportunity to provide the most immediate relief.

We are currently seeking concerned citizens who are willing to take a more active role in OTM. Although we welcome anyone who has an interest in taking a leadership role, we particularly need citizens from areas other than O'Fallon. Please contact Gary Schamburg or Tempie Lyons for more information.
