Tempted by “Turd Tax,” King County Council and staff shocked by citizen disgust
We The Governed ^ | June 28, 2016 | Glen Morgan

The King County Council, just like the Thurston County Commission is considering a septic tax program to be imposed on all properties who have a septic system in King County. Local residents are calling it the “turd tax” or the “toilet tax.” In Thurston County they are calling it the “Crap Tax.” In effect, this will turn septic systems into a utility tax for the local county government, and will serve as a type of cash windfall for the county government to squander. The taxed residents get little in return for the taxes they waste on this program.

Maybe they can pay by the dump. Take products to city hall for weighing. Leave them there.

Those in Washington and in the various states are the turds imposing a basketful of taxes to cover everything.

Oregon already had one with a “yearly” mandated “check” of the backflow valve.
Sure glad I moved out of the NW

With the imposition of regulations at the sewage disposal sites, the cost of having your septic tank pumped has gone up 300% in four years. A typical septic tank pumping costs over $300, which must be done every four years. With this tax, the ownership of a septic tank will be through the roof.

Fortunately one can avoid this tax with a five-gallon bucket and repeated trips to the county courthouse.

We need to start a new American tradition....Feces and feathers. Tar is too expensive to waste on politicians.

The taxed residents get little in return for the taxes they waste on this program.

Pretty much true about any and all taxes.
