What a CROCK of BS.... Where do these fee's end? Will they end with streetlights? How about with snow removal? Maybe police protection, maybe fire departments? I can think of lots of things that we can ITEMIZE out of the budget and place the burden directly on property owners, I am sure the Council and Mayor can come up with even more than I.
We already pay property taxes to run government and services, call it a service fee if you like it's still a tax... anytime the government takes money from you it's a tax plain and simple.
We need to stop this train before it arrives in the station, and more climb on board.
