Measure X is NOT an increase in anyone's taxes or rates.
It substitutes a tax for an existing fee that was on the books before the passage of a right-wing-sponsored state ballot measure that requires votes on what it defines as taxes.
I am amazed that the original poster is perpetuating the lies that our local conservatives are telling about this situation.
Measure X has nothing to do with proposed water/sewer rate increases.
The original poster's comments about City staff also leave me wondering -- this sounds like more right-wing anti-government-ism, not progressive politics. Why isn't he attacking the corporate-Schwarzenegger takebacks?
