All Honorable City of Miami Commissioners City Hall at Dinner Key Miami, Florida 33133 Honorable Leaders of our fair City of Miami; Several previous letters to the Editor of the Miami Herald have decried the new garbage collection fee to be paid by the City of Miami Taxpayers, in addition to the.tax already paid, through the annual property tax payment. The impact of this new fee is horrendous, as this is an imposition tax, authorized by a City Commission with no advertised Public Hearing. First time home -owners, who represent various ethnic groups, are not aware of their rights as tax -payers. Its up to us, to have the right to be heard on this matter and at a time set in the evening, so that the majority of those who work during the day, will be able to attend and be heard. Otherwise., we will consider this new so called "fee" to be Taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONI Please arrange to have me appear at the next City of Miami Commission meeting, which you advised me would be on September 15, 1980 to request such a PUBLIC HEARING. Mayor Ferre once called me a "watchdog for the community at large", hopefully I will not disappoint him, once again as an advocate for the people. Respectfully yours, ; R . . . Mrs. I. Ricky Cam niti P.S. I will be out of the city until Sept. 14, number is 448-3271, on the 15th. V i.iy home phone O n• M, rn `" rn c,. a ,ti
