The latest on the fee on the street repair.

Well there is not much new on the fee proposed for repairing city streets, however there are a couple of things that need to be caught up on here.

Of course this story started March 17th of this year when WDIO did a story with city councilor and committee member Linda Krug.  She said they are thinking of making a fee to go to improving city streets.

Well the story did not really take off till it was heard the 18th on the Brad Bennett show heard on WDSM radio. That got a lot of people talking about the issue and saying that a fee is a tax.  Something the citizens can ill effort.

Now almost two month later there still has been no single proposal brought forward by the committee however Krug still supports the fee. That however is not an official resolution on the council agenda, in fact there is still not an official resolution on the agenda.

That said however there has been committee members have been meeting with councilors to discuss the issue.  Also one councilor has an idea to transfer the street light fee to be the street fee not adding a new fee but redistributing the fee for roads.  How do you all feel about that idea?  It is a compromise that as least does not add another fee.  Well I understand many of us don't feel we should have a fee for any of these services.
