On the one hand, the City’s bills (property tax, excise tax, water and sewer charges) encourage the payers to pay online, but then you go online and right at checkout they charge a fee for paying online by credit card. This is OUTRAGEOUS! The utility bills that I pay online — electric, gas, etc. — do not charge a fee for paying by credit card. The City says the vendors of the online payment system the City contracts with charges a fee. Well maybe it is time for the City to contract with an outfit that does not charge a fee.
