City council member is "mad as heck" about gigantic fee hike montgomeryperspective.com/20…
Another 7%+ increase in your county tax? The proposed budget includes a 31% increase in your "solid waste fee", which increased by over 400% in 2021. That increase will cost you more than the proposed 3.5% increase in the property tax rate, which increased by 7% 2 years ago.

1: Identify a real problem.
2. Hyperbolize the problem.
3. Promise extreme measures.
4. Count on 2 & 3 to derange opponents.
5. Scatter breadcrumbs – hint at moderation.
6. Claim you solved the problem.
