I WILL NOT GET TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST ANY CITY ISSUE FOR I CHOOSE TO LIVE OUT OF TOWN -- A PLACE WHERE I INTEND TO LIVE UNTIL THE TAXES AND FEES RUN ME OUT OF TOWN. WE PAY GARBAGE FEES ON OUR LIGHT BILL, SERVICE FEES FOR EMS, HOMEOWNER'S DUES, SLUDGE FEES FOR SEWER WHICH IS ALSO PAID FOR IN THE HOMEOWNER'S DUES, FIRE SERVICES ON OUR PROPERTY TAX BILL. DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER ANYONE SAYING THAT OUR PROPERTY TAXES WOULD NOT GO UP WHEN THEY ASK FOR THE NEW NORTH END FIRE DEPT? THE MIL RATE DID NOT GO UP , THEY JUST INCREASED THE VALUE OF OUR HOME AND LOT. I THINK THAT A FEW MORE CONCERNED CITIZENS SHOULD GET UP ON THE SOAPBOX AND BE HEARD. LAURIE PRICE
PS: DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHITE CLIFF.. LET'S GIVE SOMETHING AWAY THEN PAY TO GET TO USE IT. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT. WHY NOT PUT ALL BOROUGH OFFICES INCLUDING MAINTENANCE AND BUSES AT THE WARD COVE SITE. THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE GETTING THAT BACK. OH NEVER MIND, JUST GIVE THE WARD COVE SITE TO ME SO I CAN OVER CHARGE THE PUBLIC FOR THE USE OF THE BUILDING THAT I WILL BUILD FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME THINGS, CRUISE SHIP DOCKS, PROMENADES, ETC... WE THE CITIZENS SHOULD START
