Now is an unfair time to increase water/sewer prices. Can a true public forum be held right
now when many Montanans are tech illiterate? Could be seen as a way to bypass youropposition since younger, techier individuals are most likely democrats. And who is most
likely to support these water/sewer price hikes? Democrats. And, I’m a democrat saying this!
Also, the city showed little or no care about trash bins in the alley damaging my fence. Nor,did the city seem interested in rotating where the bins are stored. Even though there are other
properties with room in the alley, the bins are only stacked outside MY fence. So, instead ofrotating their positions, I’m stuck with the stinky bins outside my fence. Right now, you might
be rolling your eyes at my complaint. And it’s for that very reason I do not support these pricehikes. The city didn’t care about me. I’m not eager to pay more money for low-quality
services that seemed to have little regard for my concerns.
Also, people are feeling over taxed. Some are tempted to vote no on everything. This pricehike might affect future bonds/levies.
