I have been hard on Mr
I have been hard on Mr Admas, but I thank him for supporting the idea that the entire population should be allowed to vote on this.
As far as big oil, I think this is a red herring. I am not clear on why big oil is against a tax (you can call it a fee) on water. Explain that to me. Landlords I can see, but big oil (if you can draw the connnection between a convenience store operator and big oil)? It just smells of a smear campaign.
Why not just take the high road and tell people that this will fix roads (if it will)?
PLease give us some guarantee it will continue to be used to fix roads and not siphoned off like the last franchise fee Bud Clark put up 20 years ago.
