First of all, were not getting the service we pay for.
Second why should you increase our garbage rate when it was Mayor Garner who promised upon privitizing garbage services:
1. It would save the city xyz amount of money
2. there would be no future rate increases
3. city employees would not lose their jobs.
4. Garner even cut recyling pick up
So what's the real reason for a rate increase?
Mayor England, was the one who mismanaged taxpayer dollars. Why should we pay for his mistakes?
1) Don't raise essential services, cut non-essential services.
2) Develop alternative sources of revenue.
Possible sources included:
* Reviewing all town fees, e.g. impact fees, licenses, and permits
* Establish high impact fees for developers
* Follow fiscally responsible and proactive plan
* Prioritize needs/ essential services
* Full disclosure of costs for projects
* No increase in taxes and fees
Freedom Of Speech would like to say:
Are the books of New Albany sewers, storm water, and sanitation wide open to public scrutiny, and is anybody doing the work of monitoring and reporting the financial changes?
Giving this Mayor more ratepayers money gives him more money to waste and spend.
It is up to you to help end these never ending rate increases. You can stop the City of New Albany Council from raising your garbage, sewer and stormwater rates.
