I mean come on.......... The guy admitted to freeloading on the city.
Ours is in our water bill.
1 dollar per month. Much les than 3 dollars per month or so the homeowners would figure out to be. But we probably have 5 times the population county wise. If people were made to be more accountable personally across the board, there would be a lot less freeloading and more productivity.

They made a plan to protect everyone but the commissioners (voted in by taxpayers) didn't want to raise taxes for a service they
