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.

This is an outrage! Clearly the mayor and most of the council need to be replaced.

Cut spending on frivolous programs and focus fiscal restraint. The voters spoke loud and clear by vehemently rejecting Prop 1.

The mayor and council members Eck, Paine,and Nand have lost all credibility. No more tax increases without detailed auditing of where the money is going.

Yes to everything outlined in the petition. The mayor and council - exception Dotsch and Chen - continue to willfully ignore the will of the people.

I already pay incredibly high utilities for me a one person household. It would onerous to raise these utils to make up you deficit. How about sell some police cars that sit in the lot all the time.

Once again Edmonds CC and Mayor are failing to read the room. Prop 1 was voted a resounding no by the people. Now you are going behind the voters backs to pass a 4 million dollar tax levy without a vote. There have been viable solutions to look at, put forth be CM Chen and Dotsch, as well as input from the public. This move is underhanded and lacks any kind of ‘transparency’ that the Mayor and CC constantly spout. This is not good governance?

It is time for this mayor and city council to start being fiscally responsible and start listening tithe people they represent.

City of Edmonds: Just stop trying to solve your problems by finding sneaky ways to drain our pocketbooks. We don’t need all the services you want to be the boss of. What about putting your energy into developing volunteer programs? I would be happy to participate in that!

Reconsider the proposed increase in utility rates for Edmonds. It's another property tax disguised as something else.
