| 20. I have always had a sewer bill, it was never part of my |
|
taxes. That said I completely understand your point and agree with you, it was a backdoor tax increase.
In our local community, in the past we could contract for our own solid waste hauler and there were lots of them. I choose to recycle like crazy and work out a deal with a neighbor for my one small bag of trash each week, so I had no trash bill.
Then the County imposed a program whereby everyone would use the same hauler, they would negotiate the contract and you will be billed by that hauler (failure to pay the bill will get you a fine from the government). That to me was a tax increase, just as moving the SS retirement age upward is also a back door tax increase.

It's odious if you have to pay for OTCs with your own money but not if insurance premiums |
