Editorial: Kern County raises land use fees for waste system
Kern County Public Works proposes higher land use fees to fund solid waste operations as environmental standards raise disposal costs. If approved on July 9, single family home fees would rise from 27.50 to 57 dollars annually, with other facilities affected. The plan hinges on offsetting a shortfall in a 17.25 million budget, and taxpayers would bear the burden while county employees gain an 8 percent raise.
