What Do You Think About This?
By Daniel Roach
For some time Councilman Bob Hoepfner has been trying to do away with the utility tax but he is getting strong opposition.
Now I wonder, would this really hurt the City of St. Charles financially? I ask all of the senior citizens in this great City to get behind this. Please call your Councilman and ask him to support the efforts to do away with the utility tax. It only takes a minute or two to pick up the phone and call your Council member.
Recently I took a walk around town. I went up some alleys. Boy oh boy. Alleys are not major throughways but I would not drive my car in these alleys. Some have huge pot holes. A lot of them have large cracks. In one alley the cracks were so large if you got your tire caught in one of the cracks you would probably lose your tire, rim and damage your front end. We need to get these alleys fixed. I read where Mr. Riddler says the City is finding left over money. Can some of this money go to repair our alleys? And where are our City inspectors? Some of the alleys look like junk yards.
What do you think about this?
Remember, when you are walking up the ladder of life be careful not to step on anyone’s fingers. Some day you may be coming down that ladder.
Some time ago we offered our readers the opportunity to make their feelings known to our readers in the form of an opinion article. Mr. Roach took us up on our offer. This is his opinion. Do you have one?
