Nickel-and-Dimed in Reno While City Hall Throws a Parade
The City of Reno apparently has a new message for residents:
Thank you for paying your city fees — now pay extra to pay them.
Residents handling city bills online or by card are increasingly frustrated over service fees attached to credit card and debit card payments. Want to pay your sewer bill, permits, or other city fees electronically? That convenience now comes with an added charge passed directly onto taxpayers.
And while city hall pinches residents for processing fees and “convenience charges,” the city somehow still has money available for splashy downtown events and parades that many residents believe function more as promotional campaigns for the J Resort than revitalization for the rest of downtown Reno.
