All city residents PAY county tax..that is Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach including having to pay for parking at Wrightsville beach and having to pay for parking at CB..we also all pay taxes towards beach renourishment. What YOU do not pay, that we pay are the taxes IN THE CITY, but you get all the BENEFITS of the city...WOW! Aren't you some lucky folks...Now, be responsible, participate, grow up and be good little citizens and do like the rest of us and stop your whinning...Nothing is for free...or are you a freeloader?
