Thank you Mr. Editor for continuing to publish these sales tax numbers. On another note, why not publish in your paper a photo of the ‘TRASH HEAP of the WEEK’ to highlight the ever growing uncontrolled trash, graffiti, and garbage that is a blight on our community. You might even find the City is responsible for some of the trash! The once-every election-year, politically-motivated ‘Trash Bash’ is not enough. Take the lead, SB News!
