Recently the Iowa Conservative Union had a post on an increase of Marion's Garbage and Water Run Off Levy
Iowa Conservative Union shared Mike Tope's photo.
This guy , wow... Last month I informed you all of the fee increases to garbage and water run off.. No explanation why ,just pay up.... At last nights work sess...

Not exactlly riveting but the REASON for the increase I found interesting.
It would appear that First the Marion Father took a large amount of funding from that Dept and spent it on somehing else
THEN they appeared before the Public with tears that would shame a Crocodile exclaiming
Oh My God we do not have the Money for the Garbage and Water Run Off Dept
ALAS we are going to be FORCED to Raise Taxes!
It IS rather clever
Rahm Emanuel once said, "Never let a Good Crisis go to waste,"
The Marion City Fathers said
"First Create Crisis, then Reap Opportunity."
Patter for the Shell Game
A little fun, just now and then,
Is relished by the best of men.
If you have nerve, you may have plenty;
Five draws you ten, and ten draws twenty.
Attention given, I'll show to you,
How 'Umbrella' hides the peek-a-boo.
Select your shell, the one you choose;
If right, you win; if not, you lose;
The game itself is lots of fun,
Jim's chances, though, are two to one;
And I tell you your chance is slim
To win a prize from Umbrella Jim.
