Colleyville leaders: No new taxes
If you drive through Colleyville you will see sprawling mansions and estates, but even in this affluent city, leaders are saying "no new taxes". Tonight, city leaders rejected a plan to slap a residential utility tax on citizens. The tax would have covered gas, electric and telephone. Many residents weren't happy with paying more, even if it was just about $30 a year.
But, in the meeting leaders were adamant. They cited being "mad at Washington" and not wanting to burden their citizens with more taxes. The tax would have funded crime-fighting measures. City leaders say Colleyville needs to tighten it belt, because that is what many of its residents are doing.
