I already pay for it with my property taxes and if they can't figure out a way to fund things with the current income, then they need to trim or eliminate spending on non-essential items. And I would agree with Hooda that there should be some way for just property owners to vote on issues that affect their property taxes.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00257918101344948032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-55925628245412481132009-04-28T12:13:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:13:00.000-04:00BSRG - Sylvania residents who work in Toledo don't...BSRG - Sylvania residents who work in Toledo don't pay the garbage tax in their water bills....<br /><br />They do pay the city payroll income tax which was supposed to fund police, fire and garbage.<br /><br />Just a clarification....Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-40122943048167660602009-04-28T12:11:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:11:00.000-04:00Right now Toledo taxes everyone who works in Toled...Right now Toledo taxes everyone who works in Toledo to pick up garbage in the City. So people that live in the Sylvania and work in Toledo pay in their water bill to have their own garbage picked up and pay to have a reduced garbage fee for UNLIMITED pick up in Toledo. Totally excessive. And business leave Toledo because of it<br /><br />The answer is for Toledoans to pay for the garbage collection they get including the cost of the operation of the Hoffman Road Landfill and an escrow account to pay for a new landfill in the future. And yes Toledoans, it is an additional fee, but you remember that when the 3/4 % comes up for renewal and vote that down.<br /><br />Rather than repealing Carty, Toledo should repeal the 3/4% tax and stop fueling the insanity that is Toledo governmentBlack Swamp Road Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06103575423688515580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-68339779321697995512009-04-28T11:24:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:24:00.000-04:00Jay Ott has left this comment on the post "Pedophi...<I>Jay Ott has left this comment on the post "Pedophiles, but not veterans" - I believe he meant for it to appear here:</I> <br /><br /><br /><br />What if the 6th Court of Appeals overturns the LC Common Pleas decision "preventing Mrs. Shanahan from initiating a class action to recover “trash fees” already collected by the City"?<br /><br />Suppose that the Appeals Court upholds the Common Pleas decision about recovering trash fees already paid, but says the city must no longer collect the fee because it is a [hefty 3.91 mil/2.74 levy!!!] tax.

I don't believe in taxing property, for anything that isn't directly related to protecting/maintaining that property.<br /><br />2. Especially with this mayor, taxes never go away, even when implemented as a temporary tax; he has a well earned reputation which contributes to my distrust of anything that he says/promises.<br /><br />3. I will NEVER vote for any property tax that non property owners have a vote in; to me, this is (or should be) unconstitutional...<br /><br />HT/"Z"Hooda Thunkit (Dave Zawodny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13176392380086227377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-33326176906004286772009-04-28T10:16:00.000-04:002009-04-28T10:16:00.000-04:00can't we get the recall election moved up to like ...can't we get the recall election moved up to like May 1st???????
