RE:    File #2012-CRC-2972

 

The element of civil rights in human society DOES cover more than the complaints of an individual regarding the list you have described.  DISCRIMINATION, offers the critical reality of abuse or misuse under the determinations of an act that singles out a particular group, in this case "landlords"/ and applies to them the abuse of a double taxation. As was distinguished in the previous filing: both the tenant and the landlord are taxed for sewage usage/ while the landlord has no conceivable usage, unless tied to the water: by providing it as a part of the lease.  That was not done here.

The reality of:   fighting with city governments, or independent businesses so distinctly tied to city governments as is the treatment of sewage/ and its billing.  Requires a legal battle that is NOT representative of an individual fight.  This is then a state issue, should the city attempt to say, "yes we can".  This is an attorney general fight, and expense (for equal justice and equal treatment under both law and taxation):    McGuire act 15 U.S.C.  45 (1952) later Austin Antitrust 4.11 (1976).   It is not my job to fix this; it is yours.
