Don McIntire’s letter to the editor, published on Nov. 4, contained an incorrect assertion about Maine Municipal Association.

While MMA is a nonprofit organization, it does pay property taxes. This year, it paid the city of Augusta $67,000 in property taxes and more than $11,000 for personal property (i.e., business equipment).

We recognize the importance of supporting municipal government services, as noted by McIntire as well as his concerns regarding tax-exempt property, and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the record.
