SW&B Tax Proposal

The City has advised today that there are 20,000 tons of debris in our drainage system and requested a 3 mill tax renewal along with $500 million in bonds to fix it. We would humbly suggest that they account for where the current 3 mills have been going (since it’s quite clearly not to maintenance) and explain how the $500 million would be spent when we’re on the verge of returning $2.4 billion in unspent Federal funds. We would humbly suggest that the City refrain from requesting additional funding until the City demonstrates that they can be responsible stewards of the taxpayer dollars they’re already given.
