"THERE WILL BE A VOTER BACKLASH FOR ANY INCUMBENTS WHO WILL VOTE FOR THIS SEWER RATE INCREASE!"
"I WOULD ADVISE THAT YOU NEED TO RETHINK HOW IMPORTANT THIS SEWER RATE INCREASE IS, AS OPPOSED TO COMING BACK TO YOUR COUNCIL SEAT!"
RICHMOND, CA- The Committee of Native Families for the Safety of Our Children has been organizing the Community for the past 3 months in a grassroots ANTI TAX REVOLT against the rip-off sewer rate tax increases.
The motto of the campaign has been 'NO MEANS NO!
What this sewer rate increase would mean to all home-owners in the City of Richmond is property taxes will go up. Richmond and West Contra Costa County has some of the highest property taxes in the 12 Western regional states.
If this measure were to pass, it would mean in the first year that thousands of homes would be put up for sale or go into foreclosure. And there would be a great exodus of what remaining little Middle Class that is currently in Richmond.
The City departments of Waste Water District and Finance are cold-blooded, uncaring, and just don't give damn about of how bad off we really are here in town. These individuals on City Staff that are promoting and demanding this unfair sewer rate increase should be fired by the City Manager for contributing to the economic hardship of the families of this community.
Simply translated:we cannot afford your god-damn tax. And we will fight you every step of the way.
The next stop will have to be a class action suit against the City Government of Richmond.
The Honorable City Council member Nat Bates had it right! Simply postpone this madness.
It was on the City of Richmond being sued and losing in a court of law to the Bay Keepers lawsuit.
It was on the City's Waste Water District for allowing raw sewage to spill into the Bay.
The City now needs to pimp the Richmond taxpaper's with this $40 million dollar sewer rate increase, to up grade the Waste Water District so Bay Keepers do not take the City back to court for failure to comply with the upgrade order.
Again this NOT THE ISSUE OF RICHMOND RESIDENTS!
The City got itself into this mess in the first place, let the City find other options to get out of this mess!
Just get the hell off our backs about your phony crisis and your BS sewer rate increase!
To the City Council: 'LEAD US, DON'T BLEED US !!' Be mindful this an election year for the Richmond City Council.
