Palm Beach County to increase water fees effective Oct. 1

Beginning Oct. 1, Palm Beach County residents will see about a 4 percent increase in their water bills.

It's been raining all day, I sure hope they drain a few more feet out of Lake O.

And they put in pipes were they hoped new development would be.

So they are stuck with that cost and the development didn't go in to help pay for it.

Greedy commissioners. It all started with Palm Beach Aggregates. Thanks Masilotti, Newell and his cohorts, Marcus, McCarty.

When the development eventually gets built do you think that your water bill will ever go down when the new homeowners are in?

No, once you are taxed; you are taxed forever.

Look at poor West Palm Beach. They are being hit with new taxes left and right and we're in a recession.

REnegotiate the police and fire contracts. The commissioners gave too much. Every police man should not be taking home a car and then paying barely nothing for the gas. Take the cars and gas away. Figure out another way to get to the vehicles. This is ABUSE.

Police are using the police vehicles for personal use. Errands, shopping, restaurant visits, doctor visits, school delivery, etc. and we, the taxpayer has to pay for these "personal" vehicles.

The sheriff instead of hiring new personnel is putting more money into retirement funds for already hired personnel. MORE than 10% is being funneled into retirements instead of hiring more police for the escalating crime. Shootings, drugs, robberies, GANGS! We read about the crime everyday. Do something, you get the pay, do the work to rid this county of crime.

With all the police, why isn't crime going down? Re negotiate; the public and the county are going to go bankrupt.
