Why should bars and only bars in a specific area be subect to the "surcharge". Police and fire protection is financed by a combination of property and sales taxes, not by "surcharge" taxes enforced because of the extra protection or attention needed in a specific area. If such is the case, then what is to keep the city, i.e, any city, from charging homeowners for increased survelliance required in "high" crime areas. After all, the print on police cars reads "TO SERVE AND PROTECT", not "to serve and protect--at a price to be negotiated". Such charges are wrong, illegal and should be stopped immediately. - GREGORY FOREMAN Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:25:33 +0100
