What's next? How many of you remember those "glitzy" 5x7 fliers mailed out every week by Vestar when they were looking for our $23.2 million giveaway?
You know--- the ones that said something like, "the OV Marketplace would alleviate the need for new taxes."
Well, we all know about the 2% Utility Tax pushed through by Council Member Helen Dankwerth.
How about your OV water bill? Have you looked at that lately?
And let's not forget, TEP has a major rate increase coming----too soon for most of us.
Now, there's talk coming from the Town Council, that there's another way to "hit" the citizens. Only it won't be called a "tax." If this one is approved, it will be disguised---not as a tax, but a Franchise Fee---on our gas & electric bills. At least the voters will need to approve this one.
Back in New York, people would be screaming: "Give Me A Break, would ya!"
We think people in OV will scream the same way.
