The city of Chubbuck gave city employees a raise in salary and benefits, at the expense of property owners.  Property taxes were increased 2%.

Residents had told city officials no way!  Not when so many taxpayers have seen their incomes go down, and many don’t have health insurance.

One resident even suggested an end of year performance bonus for city employees.  But that fell on the deaf ears of the city council, they ended up voting to increase property taxes.

There are several abandoned homes in the area I live in, the city has taken over lawn care because everything was dying.  There are even more homes with ‘for sale’ and ‘for rent’ signs.  How can the city justify increasing the property tax?!?
