In addition to what I discussed below, there are a couple of additional things to note about Kyle’s use of PIDs.
They are discriminatory. They create two distinct and separate classes of citizens: those who have pay for basic city services through the payment of property taxes and those who pay for those exact same services through property taxes and additional assessments dumped on them on top of those taxes.
It’s an example of the city abandoning the concept of providing basic city services. It’s exactly the same thing as two newlyweds choosing to have a large family and deciding it will provide food and shelter to their first two children, but all the rest of them will have to pay extra for them.
Under this same idea, the city could decide to abolish its police force and instead turn over all criminal investigative functions to the county and hire private security guards for routine patrol functions and then charge residents an assessment to pay for the security guards. Would you stand for that? If not, then how can you accept these PIDs?
