If you fail to pay there is a payment of negative five percent and your balance is reduced even more.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409752101270943945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-86407797967130599842008-01-30T14:24:00.000-08:002008-01-30T14:24:00.000-08:00I thought that most phone bills (both land line an...I thought that most phone bills (both land line and celluar) already had some sort of tax/fee/service charge to pay for 911 service?Ken Deuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448139379903783564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-41429083686689515192008-01-30T10:37:00.000-08:002008-01-30T10:37:00.000-08:00I'd like to see how they implement it on my pay-as...I'd like to see how they implement it on my pay-as-you-go-cell that has no fee, just use-minute-purchase fill cards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832200974041076575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-15565004681247186082008-01-30T10:00:00.000-08:002008-01-30T10:00:00.000-08:00I think it's just peachy, especially with the $50 ...I think it's just peachy, especially with the $50 opt out plan for the cranky seniors living in prop 13 tax shelters. <BR/>What you mean 911 emergency service wasn't something I've been paying for these past 40 years?<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the John and Ken snark today.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-68541372472632204252008-01-30T09:36:00.000-08:002008-01-30T09:36:00.000-08:00Blog post to Rick Cole:This is great.

I don't see why Venturans aren't overjoyed at the tens of millions this will save them in other taxes. now that the City has adopted a policy of charging for police services they won't need to fund the department at all except for those functions they actually use. Now that arrestees are going to pay the entire cost of their arrest, processing and incarceration the rest needn't pay anything. you could even give criminals the option of a monthly charge or per arrest payment. <BR/><BR/>Enough snark, it has no effect on people who have already convinced themselves they can say "fee" with a straight face. Instead I'll bring up the one thing your staff couldn't identify; the inevitable unintended consequence. <BR/><BR/>What do you want to bet that tens of thousands of mobile numbers currently registered inside SBV suddenly move billing addresses to unincorporated areas or across the river? In fact I sense a business opportunity I'll look into providing a $1.48/mo P.O. Box storefront.
