[Winona Online Democracy] I would agree that the use of local sewer and water fees to improve and upgrade the needs of the sewer plant and water system are appropriate and best way to pay for these important projects. I would disagree that any city, township or county be required to use property taxes for necessary street improvements when motor and fuel tax revenues should be available to make road and street improvements. While it is not right this issue is one that goes beyond local governmental powers especially when these collected taxes are diverted away from the users of roads and streets into things like mass transit, local bus service and light rail forcing the car and truck drivers to subsidize something they may never want to use.
