Paying for Prop B, garbage tax voted down - What's Your Point?

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - This week’s panel:  Wayne Dolcefino – media consultant, Laura Moser – former Democratic congressional candidate, Bob Price – Associate Editor of Breitbart Texas, Tomaro Bell – Super Neighborhood leader, Keir Murray – Democratic strategist, Ben Streusand – conservative commentator, “Three Amigos”, KSEV Radio, continue the discussion on how the city should manage the costs of Proposition B.

A proposed citywide trash fee aimed at offsetting the costs of Proposition B was voted down by Houston City Council on Wednesday morning.

The idea was presented by Councilman Dwight Boykins as a way to help cover the cost of the firefighter pay raises.

The fee would have meant monthly rates of $19, $24, or $27. Disabled veterans and homeowners would have been exempt from this.

Councilman Boykins was the only one to vote in favor of the fee. City council voted against it Wednesday morning.
