Voters Raise Waco Charges Up to Forty Percent in 40s Era Debate
The letter discusses a 40 percent water sewer and garbage rate hike in Waco and argues bills may not rise evenly due to higher usage. It cites a specific case where the pre increase bill was 38.85 dollars and the after bill would be 46.30 dollars, with a claimed 40 percent increase. Local figures, including water superintendent Jay Lafevere, weigh in on meter readings and usage. The piece also covers a speeding ticket dispute involving Rowe Sams, radar testimony concerns, and Urban Renewal tax implications involving a property sale at 1022 South Fourth and Jones.
