Dear Editor,
As a home owner in Richmond since the 1970s, I have seen my taxes go up every year while the city services go down.
A great deal of money was spent along the Railway corridor to accommodate bikers and walkers, but the three-foot high grass and weeds surrounding it are a mess. The park/schoolyard behind us is mowed, but only once this year have the edges and corners been cut down.
I asked a City employee why and he said they (the City) are behind... Sure are, but not come tax time. Use our tax money to hire enough people to keep up. Forget the pretty flowers in the medians and mow the parks and public places instead.
