tell me again why higher and higher utility rates on ourselves are better than a sales tax that gets out of towners to contribute to city revenue.

who are these people who insist on turning down the free millions? must be rich!

Let's hope our 3 grown up Coucilmen will be able to rise above the political muck, put a tax on tourists/out of towners and get some relief for us utility customers. Otherwise, the sky's the limit on our rates! :(

Sales tax, utility hike--dont matter. it all comes from the same place(my wallet)
