They keep raising taxes on everything then want us to vote to continue to tax ourselves.. Come on enough is enough. Property taxes have gone up as have utilities. Show us people that you really care first with tax relief instead of more taxes then maybe we'd believe thjat you really cared. This mayor and council needs to go.

Why don't they just budget money for projects. I too will vote NO. Why vote to tax yourself, especially when this mayor and council has lied to us so often.?

Gets them where it hurts, their pocketbooks. It's placing undue financial hardships on college students huh?. Well who's fault is that? Fines are meant to teach a lesson not to be a convenience for breaking the law. We could all complain about any fines we get being too high. Get caught breaking the law you have to pay what's coming to you. Don't like hte fines then stop breaking the law, duh!
