It's a storm water fee just to help meet new federal requirements on water purity. But look! It's also helping assure water safety in case of liquefaction! It's a road fund to keep up on the miles of failing roads in Eugene. But look! It also will provide great parking for a few dozen vehicles next to the new city hall (except where zoned "no parking," of course.) It's a telecommunications tax to assure continued upgrades for the citizens' communication needs. Oh look! It also doubles as extra closed door office space to facilitate our Counselors in their need for special communication status! It's more important than those troublesome school children, that's for sure!
