This ain't the feds. This local government. You!------Residents and businesses charged monthly utility fee to fix city streets

Residents and businesses charged monthly utility fee to fix city streets:
".....a new street improvement fee on August utility bills.
The street fund joins water, sewer, storm water and street lights and other utility fees that can total nearly $50 a month — on top of residents’ property taxes.
“Government has to start living within its means, instead of this thinking that we have an unlimited amount of money.
We don’t,” said Jim Booth, a financial planner who’s running for county commissioner.
“And it’s exactly the people the politicians say they’re watching out for — the low- and moderate-income people — that they’re hurting.”"
