City council is totally out of line by charging customers for mailing costs.
These costs are part and parcel of doing business and are called overhead. We already pay for the city’s overhead through our property taxes, water and sewer charges. Not every household (especially low-income) can afford a computer and to put the onus on the library is also unreasonable.
This is one decision that needs to be revoked. Pensioners and other low-income households have enough on their plates keeping up with other increases. We don’t need double billing.
