Tax (from Merriam-Webster) = a charge usually of money imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes
I don't think you see what I am saying. Mr Adams had two years running with a $30M rev surplus. He did not make one peep about using $0.01 of this to fix roads which by his admission were in a state of severe disrepair.
Instead, he decided to foist a water bill tax on users until he realized it might have an effect on his run for Mayor.
So now, he will do nothing additional for streets without a water tax, even though he has surplus funds available.
Why not just fix the streets with up to $60M for two years and at least knock off the highest priorities and then revisit the tax in a year or so?
I'lkl speak slowly
