Will Huffaker Stop the Bandy-Guerber Water Tax Machine?

Eagle City Hall was flooded with citizens in opposition to the Bandy-Guerber Water Tax on Tuesday. Councilman Norm Semanko listened to the citizens and wants to stop the tax and go back to square one. He needs two other council members to support his motion. Al Shoushtarian appears to support Semanko’s efforts. The key is Michael Huffaker.

At Tuesday’s meeting Huffaker spent considerable time lecturing citizens on the importance of listening. The public testimony was 7 to 1 against the largest tax increase in Eagle's history. Huffaker inherited this debacle from the previous regime, so a vote to start over is a vote to begin restoring credibility at City Hall. So will Huffaker listen to the citizens or vote with the Bandy-Guerber Tax Machine?

This issue may drown Huffaker’s political future. He says believes in the audacity of listening. Call him at 938-4704 and toss him a life-line.
