Crickee, Raising revenue through growth means more businesses selling more goods and services and paying more in property and income taxes. Raising revenue through growth means an improving economy increasing property values so property tax revenues rise do to assessment valuations as opposed to higher rates. You can be forgiven for the confusion if you've never lived in a city or state that raised revenue through growth. The sewer rates are already too damn high. The city needs to charge a connect capable fee for people that can connect to the sewers but choose not to. This was supposed to be the case when at least one earlier sewer phase was completed. The city backed down when there was some vocal opposition. Totally screwed the people that connected. The city increased taxes 4.25% & our schools are still suing the city for under funding the district. Warwick is not and has not been a well run city. Any problems the city faces isn't because the taxpayers have been paying too little.
