Thumbs down to the Cedar Hill City Council for entering into a utility bill paying agreement with Western Union, where that agency lets people pay bills for $1.50 per bill at one of its three sites in Cedar Hill.
For people who don’t have computers to pay online, and don’t want to risk late charges with a payment by mail, the city has a drop box, convenient for drive-up payment, in front of the Government Center, the combination city hall and school district administration building. The city simply had no need to enter this agreement.
And, if it touts the agreement, which starts Sept. 1, on its website, it will get another thumb pointing downward.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
