Continued... this is the same for property taxes, 7, 8, 9 10% annual increases are crushing people, especially those who still have mortgages. Through on top of all that the huge increase people have seen on home insurance. Work with what you have, and focus on the essentials

continue from previous submission... For example, my recent water bill for Apr 1 to June 30, 2025 with 68 cu m of consumption totaled $538. I used 67 cu m for the same period last year (almost identical) and was billed $334.15. People will not be able to afford to live here.

Council really needs to focus on freezing or keeping to the absolute minimum the rate of increases to property taxes and water services. At the pace you have been going at post covid pretty soon property taxes and property insurance will equal what annual mortgage payments were.

Government should make fact based decisions spending money as if it were their own. Example: speed limits have been reduced without statistical data demonstrating that there is a problem that warrants a change. Speed cameras have been added and are being cut down. Listen.

Maybe look at reducing expenditures instead of increasing them as residents have endured several high property tax increases over the last few years and need a break from these outlandish numbers. The survey should have option for reducing costs.

The Lincoln Pelham Public Library deserves an increase in their funding. They provide Lincoln with the most diverse catalogue from books to sewing machines to WiFi to park passes. Not to mention all the programs they run. They are exceptional and deserve the support they need.
