City of Pasadena to Consider Rate Increases for Sewer Service, Water and (Eventually) Electricity-Let Your Voice be Heard

Utility rate increases are being considered everywhere. Pasadena is no exception. 

These decisions do not need to be made in a legislative vacuum.

Tonight (Monday, May 6th) the Pasadena City Council will hear a request to raise sewer rates by the Department of Public Works. The hearing will be in the City Council Chambers at 100 North Garfield Avenue on the second floor, Room S249. 

You can attend the meeting to comment or submit public comment remotely.

The report, accompanied by a detailed summary prepared by HdL Companies for the City, showed the decline in sales tax revenue follows several quarters of flat year-over-year growth and reflects the impact of economic challenges on consumer spending.

We All Need to Pay Closer Attention — And Weigh In

It is easy to feel helpless and powerless when confronted by political realities today.

Sometimes it seems as if the special interests and loudest shouters get all the attention (and influence with policy makers.)

In Washington and Sacramento, the government (elected and appointed officials) seems unable to even sympathize with citizens, let alone consider the impacts their actions have on people’s lives or do what may be in our best interests. (It is debatable whether gridlock in Congress is good for us or bad for us.)
