Don't Raise Water Rates in Davis, CA

As a local small business in Davis, CA we wholeheartedly oppose the 2010 proposed water and sewer rate hike.  Local businesses and residents are still struggling in this tough economy and with higher water rate everyone will feel the burden on our already tight budgets.  Davis just raised rates less than two years ago and they plan to raise rates as much as 23% by 2014.  How can Davis meet it's self proclaimed goals of "livability" and "preservation of character" while raising the cost of living and doing business?
This rate hike affects EVERYONE in Davis! Business will have to raise prices, landlords will have to raise rents and homeowners will have to pay more out of pocket!  Just say "NO" to the City of Davis!  Protect your quality of life!
