In Granite City we have: sales taxes, property taxes, cell phone taxes, vehicle stickers, utility taxes, occupency permits, business licenses, to name a few, when does it end? Why do we have a city and a towship government? Why does it cost me more to buy a soda at the Johnson Rd McDonalds than the Pontoon McDonald?
We have all this because nobody shows up at the city meetings, school board meetings, and continues to vote the same people in office over and over again.
