Subject: Protest Against Proposed Rate Increases for Solid Waste and Wastewater Services
Dear City Clerk,
I am writing to formally protest the proposed increases to the solid waste and wastewater
service rates in the City of Anaheim. As a resident of Anaheim, I am deeply concerned
about the continued rise in living costs, including groceries, utilities, and housing.
Inflation has placed a heavy burden on many households, and for many of us, our incomes
have not kept pace with these rising expenses. Increasing utility rates at this time would
further strain already tight budgets and force residents to make difficult choices just to
keep up with basic necessities.
Given the current economic pressures, I urge the City of Anaheim to reconsider this rate
increase and seek alternative solutions that do not place additional burdens on working
families and residents.
Please count this letter as my formal protest against the proposed rate increases.
Sincerely,
Long Nguyen
City of ey-,,helm
