It now looks like we will be double billed for a problem that our area has never had.

We will be paying for the last round for some time to come. Let’s hope that they aren’t setting up to come back and ask to raise them again.

Yeah, I thought so at the time, but it kept the vendors so happy. "Business Friendly" Ya'll.

It may also have an impact on land use too, but all levels over government could stand quite a bit more transparency anyway. If we're paying for it then we should have clear and open access.

I am only guessing but it seems like their could be a lot of changes to the flood plain maps and it could effect my insurance rates and levy taxes, Am I right? And I am guessing that the rates I pay won't be going down. Olson just wants the govt to tell us in advance they are raising your levy requirements and floods ins premiums before they actually do it.
