Reaching Into Empty Pockets Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Not one of the people speaking is thinking out of the box,
all are trying to find ways to increase revenues. Why?

We need more volunteers to help out so we can cut back on
paying bureaucrats and those who get paid for not doing
their jobs of serving the public.

Wanting to yell and scream every time revenue is brought
up, it angers me, that no one else can figure out the
public cannot afford to pay these outrageous taxes, and
fines.

Increasing costs to seniors trying to exist in this
community where everyone is falling into dire straits with
no way to live, because the city of Phoenix is reaching
into everyone's pockets who can't afford it.
