Yes and no. Yes we have to pay for it, but that is irrelevant between taxes and frees.
The question is:
Single bill for politicians divvy up as spending?
OR
Activity based billing for specific activities and beneficiaries?
The activity based is more specific and targeted, and less subject to politicians’ whims and their purchasers.
The downside is feeling nickeled and domed to death, but it’s more transparent and fair.
1$ per day for something you need when you need it is not outrageous currently. The property tax spending is much more insidious
