Register for the OCWB Virtual Town Hall Meeting set for Thursday morning
09/21/2016 7:28 PM by John M
The City of Richmond’s Office of Community Wealth Building will be holding the inaugural Virtual Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, September 22, 2016 from 10:00 – 11:00 AM. The OCWB is issuing a Call to Action for a shared vision for our community.
We encourage all of our stakeholders (community members, partners, residents, businesses, etc.) to participate.
This event is open to everyone who cares about a coordinated strategy for poverty reduction and building community wealth in the City of Richmond.
It is outrageous that small volume residential citizens can pay as much as 78% of their water/sewer bill for service charges, while some above average volume users can pay as little as 11%. Furthermore, note that the City administration has broken its promise to list all charges on their billing.
Will the City remove the federal income tax surcharge on the water rates?
Will the City lower the base service charge that all customers must pay before receiving the first drop of water?
Will the City stop using the water utility as a cash cow for the it’s general fund?
Oops, someone just figured out that there is a poverty problem?
