Huh. I'm guessing that kind of explains the budget problem.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My water bill is about $30/month. I'd be shocked if I got a near-$100 water bill, even in the summer.

Hi there! I've missed the board, but I've been too busy with work and family lately. But I wanted to drop in and say hello.
And happy belated birthday to Dylan and javachik

That's not totally accurate. Sales taxes vary by city in California.

Amusingly, my water/sewer bill comes bundled with my trash bill. It's about $50 bimonthly for all 3.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Water/sewer service is a bill here too (I assume that building the sewer system was done with taxes and bonds and whatnot, but the monthly service is a bill, not a tax.)

I know that taxes go to things like maintaining roads and whatnot, so I assumed they went to other things that keep the city running, like sewers. My electric and gas bill is based on the amount of electricity and gas I use, so it's irritating that nearly all of my water bill is flat fees that have nothing to do with how much water I use.

True, but as a resident, I have no specific local tax, unlike everywhere else I have lived.

None? Like at all? Cause I know Texas is all HEY WE HAVE NO TAXES HERE WE ARE LIBERTARIAN PARADISE! When really we have no state income tax, but tax the shit out of other stuff.

Ah. ND clarifies.
