I have no ideological objections to paying taxes.

But the Port...  Let's see now, what, exactly, have they done for this community in the past 7 years, while they've steadily raised our taxes?  And why are their revenue-generating activities not able to fund whatever it is they need the extra money for?  Could it be that it's easier just to keep relying on the taxpayer, rather than asking boat owners and private planes to ante up?
