The Mobsters Meet This Monday

Politicians in the City of Newark are acting like cutthroat mobsters, and their actions could affect every citizen in the State of Delaware.

There are real problems facing the city, but the new mayor and the city council are still dedicated to lining their pockets with cash — as well as the pockets of well-connected corporations.

The Newark City Council Meeting will be held at City Hall, this Monday, December 9, at 7p.m.

On the meeting agenda, there are three items that need to be defeated:
Water rate hikes
Rain tax
Increase in pay for the mayor and council

After hammering the citizens with an unproven, costly, and unnecessary deal with Honeywell Corporation to install new meters last year, the council increased electric rates earlier this year.

Then they increased their pensions.

Now, not only is the Newark City Council and the new mayor planning to stiff taxpaying citizens with a 7.2% increase to their water rate, but they also want to make even more money for all of this fine work.

And the icing on the cake? A rain tax…

You may have heard about the rain tax in our neighboring state of Maryland. Literally, it’s a tax on the rain that runs off of the land of each property.
