It is already too late.  The most recent round of tax hikes started last
year when the city suddenly realized the water department was "broke",
continued with this years budget process which included a 3% property tax
increase, a 4% increase in water fees,(on top of last years doubling of
fees) and finished with this week's increase in almost all fees charged by
the city for "services", increases the city claimed were needed to offset
costs, such as the "pay for performance" salary increases.
