And Here We Go…Proposed City Budget Has Higher Water fees

The Times Dispatch reports

In addition, residents would pay more for gas, water and waste-water disposal. Property owners would pay a new annual storm-water fee to fund utility projects.

No surprise here, we tried to warn our fellow citizens. I guess we can join SaveRichmond.com in saying, we told you so.

And we continue to ask: What will be VCU’s rate?

As usual, white elephant schemes distract from this and other important issues.

  1. What the heck is a storm-water fee? We have to pay because it rains? What’s next– a snow fee to fund street projects, a sunshine fee to fund drought-management projects?

    What would it take to get Richmond to emulate Salem (OR) and many other cities by instituting graduated fees for waste removal? The more trash you make, the more you pay for the city to take it away. Sounds like good a capitalist principle to me.

    Likewise, I’m sure some technology exists that can allow the city to charge for downtown street and lot parking based on the dimensions of a vehicle’s base. You take up more room? Pay for it!
