Furthermore, economics 101: No seller can just add his increased costs to the price of his product. The Developer would have to absorb some or all of an increased impact fee because of competition in the market. That is why he stopped his Commissioners from increasing it, and they increased our taxes instead.[/QUOTE]

Economics must be different where you come from. Where I come from you increase your price to cover the increased costs or you go out of business.
