2/6/14 - Today, Glendale
residents have an opportunity to repeal the UTILITY USERS TAX by 7% on their Glendale
Water and Power (GWP) utility bill and natural gas bill and 6.5% on their Cable
and telecommunications bill. A petition
is being circulated throughout our city in which the public has a chance to
regain control of their local government from the politicians… enough is enough
in taxes and in fees!
While
struggling families and businesses are coping with today’s economy, our
politicians lack the fiscal integrity to manage and implement fiscal control
over the city’s expenditures.
From
2001 through 2012, Glendale’s
population actually declined by 4.5%. During the same period, the city’s
“budget” increased by a staggering 62%, rising from $438 million to over $700
million. Even with this unprecedented increase in the city’s budget, the City
Council is currently proposing further increases in the city’s utility taxes as
well as other taxes and fees.
Because
our city leaders are either unable or unwilling to control spending and manage
resources, the people must take direct action to ensure they do so. Reducing city revenue will force our leaders
to downsize the cost of government, rather than perpetually seeking new
ways to tax the public. The UTILITY TAX reduction is ONLY 4% of the city’s
budget. If our leaders cannot manage a 4% reduction in revenue then we, the
people, must take the initiative.
As
usual, our politicians will use scare tactics against the uninformed public
when claiming “they” need the money.
REDUCE
ALL OF YOUR UTILITY USAGE FEES BY 6.5% TO 7% …If you would like to place this
initiative on the ballot. Sincerely Mike Mohill Glendale 818-383-5001
