Bedford passed the Senior/Disabled Tax Freeze in 2005. A group of citizens petitioned for a tax rollback after a budget passed with a higher rate than they liked. Of course, the rollback lowered the frozen tax rate for these seniors.
This same group has put three council members and the mayor in office. Bean counting is constantly done, down to each bean. Keeping the tax rate low, or even lower seems to be mandated by this group.
Bedford is also going forward with red light cameras and, as of Sept 1, any car stopped or in an accident without proof of insurance will be towed. Be careful as you drive through!
Okay, all well and good on that account.
But the idea of billing an insurance company per tool used in a crash is prime for overbilling and fraud. The city needs to come up with a levy that will pay for what they do, and sell it to their people.
