Give me my penny
The Covina City Council agreed to increase its trash fees by 6 percent on Tuesday, and officials said that water rate increases will follow next month.
The water rates won't be nearly as high as those proposed at a study session in August, when rates were projected to increase as much as 35 percent. Because of the economic times, officials said, they are going to consider how to slightly increase the costs without over-burdening the residents.

Again...residents get shafted. Has city council looked outside and seen that fuel prices are DROPPING?? And they give Athens a fuel increase? And now $24.84 when they just bid Hacienda Heights at $17 and La Mirada at $13? This stinks..somebody is getting paid off.
