City making it a part of the tax maybe? This reminds me of those 1-900 telephone billing scams of the 1980's. Threatening people with guns and badges is sure way for a sheriff to not be re-elected and judges to be removed from the bench. City Council getting alot of flak from its' constituents will cause them to rethink their collection process. It sounds unconstitutional to me and maybe a Federal Court should intervene. Imagine receiving a Federal bill for a "Citizen Fee"....if you did not pay, the FBI would come with guns and badges and empty your wallet. This is .gov thuggery at its finest...
