ReplyJust before the publication of this article, Roswell City Council voted to give a fire truck to NY. How much did that cost the tax payers of Roswell?
Roswell City Council recently saddled the taxpayers with $30 MILLION dollars in new debt because they claimed they couldn't afford to pay for local projects using cash. Now we know why. Roswell City Council has shown no limit to its wasteful spending or willingness to be generous with tax payer money.
RFFR is and will continue to be pro-giving and pro-philanthropy. But, RFFR believes that acts of charity should be carried out by private individuals and private organizations making private decisions using private dollars.
Below, please find a link to a list of 15 companies who are working to help the victims of hurricane sandy. If you are a private individual who wishes to contribute to the cause, we encourage you to work through a private company or a local non-profit to make such a contribution.

But, RFFR believes that acts of charity should be carried out by private individuals and private organizations making private decisions using private dollars. To give voluntarily and of a person’s own accord is a noble and gracious act. Using the power of taxation to take from one group of people to give to another is theft and an abuse of power.

ReplyWhat’s the big deal? My Church Gives to Charity & Non-Profits!
There is no virtue in compulsory government charity. And after all, that’s exactly what this is. Charitable acts, carried out by the government are compulsory to the tax payer. If you don’t give to your church, your pastor can’t put a lien upon your house!

Here are the quick facts.
85% of Roswell Citizens get their water from Fulton
15% of Roswell Citizens get their water from Roswell City.
Every gallon of water that Roswell City provides is made up of about 40% Fulton water. This means that Roswell can't produce enough water to service the current customers, so they pump in 40% of their daily need into the Roswell City system from Fulton then send it to us.
Fulton County rates are 23% less expensive than Roswell Water. Roswell's rates will just go up as the bond for the new plant comes due.
At the completion of the project, Roswell City Water will still only service 15% of the Roswell population. No additional customers will be added. The ROI is horrible on this project.
Fulton just announced a price drop in their water rate.
Fulton is a mess, but rebuilding the water plant on the backs of the current customer is irresponsible.
