Flood proposal unfair

Regarding the Aug. 28 editorial, it was suggested a good option to fix the levee system in Williamsport would be to apply for state or federal funds.

I pay state and federal taxes. My property is not protected by a levee, neither are the properties of the majority of the towns along the Susquehanna River. If we have a mortgage on our homes, we have to pay for very expensive flood insurance. Why should residents of cities protected by a levee expect us to pay taxes so they won’t have to buy flood insurance?
