Boston Tea Party, Tioga County Style: Bob Bell (left), a farmer from Barton, Tim Brown (center), of TJ's Market in Barton, and Clark Hepworth (right) of Owego, get ready to throw their 2004 county tax bills into the Susquehanna River at high Noon on Saturday, January 17. The men are protesting the 18.8% tax increase by refusing to pay the tax. IN a press release issued later that day, Tioga County Legislature Chairman Martin L. Borko said, "Real property tax increases of this type are devastating to our farming community...  We agree with Bob Bell . . . we must act now and we must act together to reduce this burden."
