um...
the city
went on the water obviously newport beach part of newport harbor
this city needs twenty nine million dollars to maintain the harbor
and uh... it's a course uh... home of the
rich and famous people
it's long overdue for maintenance this harbor
the uh... the channels have indeed reg since the great depression
they're anxious leaky sea walls protecting its neighbors at neighborhood
needs to be repaired
or a place people are very concerned about global warming and rising sea a
levels
and
this is a uh... it it may be a bit too part b_ to do this time and u
you know that there are thousands literally people spend thousands of
dollars
stringing lights on their homes
sometimes on their boats put on their homes that are right on the harbor
uh... and uh... taurus go their tracks like a million people years
because it's you know the their wealthy and they want to uh... put up uh...
christmas greetings or christmas uh... a holiday you know lights and whatnot
and
so
the city
has been charging
for these public uh... the public
waterways
a doc fee
to residents of newport beach
and it is cost them for the past twenty years all hundred dollars a year
that breaks down to about eight dollars a month
to rent
the public to access
to their docs uh... do do you know to rent the public property and allow them
to have docs therein
eight dollars a month for a dark fee
these are this is public land now
that could be auctioned off
to i don't know restaurants or whatever that want to build like a little uh...
docking landing or whatever it is or
the rights to these are incredibly them
in the city needs to raise money
and so they are now instituting
rents
that will increase to either from anywhere from two hundred and fifty
dollars for a small slit
two thirty two hundred annually
for a large dark
shared by two homeowners
and now
some of the wealthy owners of these homes and uses of these docs presumably
for their small or massive boats
are claiming that they're gonna go on strike
and they're not going to get a rate their homes
bhai well well i'll tell you what happened you felines
when you screw it direct like this
when you force them
well let me just uh... read what uh... the organization chairman bob mccaffrey
the organizer of the stop the dark tax
it costs us dozens of dollars to voluntarily decorate our homes in boats
to bring a holiday smiles to nearly one million people
this year were turning off our lights in with dr dot blots
in protest of the massive new doc tax
that we expect the city council to levy
yes ladies and gentlemen the
asap dr x
after paying only eight dollars a month
these millionaires
but saying hey
taxes if avi not for me
you've got uh... one family
uh...
genentech the rich
a real yesterday they remodeled their two-story home they installed the frame
to support a carousel of rain gear on the roof
in their yard a giants and arrived in a hot air balloon
a snowman stands at their front gate like a bouncer
there is is an expensive hobby
because fifteen thousand dollars to hire accrue to put the stuff up
nevermind across the actual stuff
until they switch the l_e_d_ lights the electric bill ran eleven hundred dollars

anymore
i'm sure some of these people bring some other workers into their homes to admire
their
their bowling alley story there

and pride in your home drop lives
bombarded
if we've got a painful rock private dot
