What they are charging people inside the city and outside the city and calling it deferent names to subsidize the taxes is simply an organized crime.
Alex is right; this year they transferred an ADDITIONAL $5,000,000 dollars to cover taxes in addition to $6,250,000 before. Or a total of $11,250,000 this year. On average each household in the service are is paying $562.5 per year extra to cover shortfalls in taxes.
You cannot charge people more on their electric bill and say we are not raising your taxes.
Mr. Bateman, I know you are great in arithmetic (NOT). But please we are tired of "WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR SELF".
Did we ever collect the $3,000,000 the hospital owns to the city?
DO the people outside the city know that they are paying an additional 6% of their electric bill to subsidize Bateman Taxes?
Mayo, it is true that you applied for the budget director and were interviewed at the SFWMD, but Sir this does not mean that you know anything about budgeting.
