Surprise writes off $232,000 in delinquent utility bills

Full story: www.azcentral.com

After some slight wrangling at a recent city council meeting, council members voted to write off utility debts older than 12 months and set up payment plans for the past 12 months for delinquent Surprise residents. While some had not paid in many years, it was determined that not collecting on these had created an air of expectation of services despite non-payment and in this economy it just wasn't right to demand payment in full. Several council members acknowledged that the city was partly at fault for not collecting aggressively when they should have.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Virgo

Words are flying around in all directions today, and the conversations will be fast and furious. You might face a lot of distractions and interruptions, or you could get caught up in some rather irritable slanging matches with a certain person. The busier you are, the more fraught you'll become and the more likely to go off the deep end.
