Lakewood Measure "L" (utility users tax) results
It looks like this tax and a host of others will be increasing during the recession. No idea what Lakewood will tax next under Measure L as it is written to broaden the scope of what "utilities" and services are taxable. And don't expect any accountability from this city, who's motto should be city of obfuscation, the opposite of transparency. You never get a straight answer and to get it you have to pry it out of them. So dont go looking for where this money is really going. Its theirs now and they will do with it what they want. You had the chance to make the city accountable and once again the voters failed.
