Auntie Charo's Soapbox

If things aren't bad enough with the helter-skelter pick-up(or, no-pick-up) of your trash(what the neighbor dogs haven't strewn all over the neighborhood) for $8.00, you now have to pay $10.00 per month for the luxury of creating trash. I'm not sure I heard what the reason(or excuse) the commission used for the increase....or the excuse/reason they used for the other increases that you/we have to pay come this November 1st. Unlike the legislature that has to have a public hearing before they raise(I think that's the rule) or increase taxes(believe me, that's what it is!!!
Oh well, we're mere pawns in this game on who will remain on this most expensive place to stay. Soon, it'll come down to who will remain on Guam. Those who can afford to live here and those who can't. The ones who can't will move away.....you get the picture. We're paying big bucks and getting nothing for it.........we may as well move to where we get what we pay for!!!
All these little increases are like arsenic, a little bit here and there will eventually kill the person that ingests it. We've increased the costs of driver's licenses, business licenses, our utility bills have gone up, the prices of gas have gone up, the retail prices for food and clothes have gone up, we're buying supplies for our children in public and private school and oh, how the list goes on........slowly but surely, there will be a straw that breaks the back of the donkey.........and me thinks that time is sooner than later!
