Guess the board is trying to come up with enough money to cover their sewer project that cost us taxpayers twice as much as it was bid and awarded at. I suppose we will have to pay to use the walking trail or dog park, what is next, charging to use the Portalets. Oh yeah, pay toilets were made illegal 50+ years ago Glad to see Peru politics haven’t changed.
