Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
The people of Tehachapi are being double taxed by a new road development fee.  This "development fee" (tax) is a $4,777 dollar tax for each home built in the Tehachapi area.  The road tax was passed by the Kern County Board of Supervisors and only for Tehachapi.  Why only Tehachapi and not other towns in Kern County?  This fee will be passed on to consumers from large developers and for the one time home builder this is a huge potentially project killing tax increase.        Why did our board supervisor Maben allow this new tax with the county wide sales tax increase for roads coming up on the November ballot?   If this November ballot tax increase passes Tehachapi tax payers will pay more for our roads than any other city in the county.       Tehachapi area citizen's tax payments already go towards roads.  Why then are we to pay additional taxes...
