Great Read: By Sal Diciccio Councilman District 6

http://phoenix.gov/webcms/groups/internet/@inter/@pcc/@dist6/documents/web_content/053592.pdf

     The current councilpersons like Claude Mattox who is running for City Mayor and others are deceiving our city and using our money for their own personal agendas.  While people are losing their jobs and struglling through the economy it seems to me that the only solution these guys behind the council desk are doing is increasing our taxes and utility bills.  Not to mention the new 2% food tax and property tax increases.  THIS NEEDS TO STOP.  Yet, don't believe what I say, read it for yourself.

New Phoenix Water Increase 7%

     The nation is at an upheavel and the people are struggling.  The price at the Gas pump is now over $3.10 per gallon.  Unemployment is up, home sales are down and money is hard to come by.  So with all that lets hike up the price of water.  WHY?  Not because it is low or the demand is high but because it will help the City build more revenue.  The City leaders are trying to squeeze water from a rock.  Families are struggling and just last year they stuck the people with a 2% food tax, now they are hiking up the water 7%.  What people are forgetting is the simple rule of economics.  If we increase peoples cost of living by a combined 9% they will have less money to spend.  If they have less money to spend the tax revenue which should sustain the city will decrease.  This in turn will give our City a larger budget defecit.  It seems to me like someone is not thinking.
