Do not add taxes to homeowners without voter approval. Manage your existing budget.

Enough hiding from the taxpayers.

Vivian needs to start looking at what residents want if she thinks she is giving to win a mayoral race. How much have your personal expenses gone up over the last couple of years. No new taxes, sell some of the police cars that sit in the parking lot all the time.

Please No new tax without citizen approval. As our vote indicated.

Assuming Will Chen, Michelle Dotsch, and Erika Barnett side with the voters, who delivered a loud message to those running our City, then that only leaves Vivian Olson to mount a majority vote against this illegal utility tax. I guess we will find out on whose side she's on.

Combined utility bill ( water, sewer, etc. ) is up 31% since 2022. No new taxes for our seniors, please.

I oppose the utility tax and gouging Edmonds residents! I realize the exorbitant spending spree the city did paying themselves high wages!! This is unconscionable and something must be done to lower "fat cat" wages!!!

Mayor R. + Edmonds City Council have not done a good job by trying to repair the problems Mike left, by lowering the over spending of employees for the city.

No hikes in Water Utility rates on Tuesday. Inept leadership should have had an eye on the handling of this utility and its costs. Shame on the Council and the Administration for raising rates without a public hearing. Accept the responsibility that funds across the board appear to be mismanaged, and the Utility district is no different.

Dear Council and Mayor- it’s time you listened to your constituents! We said No to additional tax increases and we meant it! Why do you expect us to work more, have less to pay our bills yet you will not embrace financial responsibility? We pay attention in Edmonds to who we have elected and what they do. Not everyone here has thousands of extra dollars to give to edmonds - I’d rather give it to my kids to help pay for student university costs. Do the right thing.
