I see that the POA is trying to slip one past us again like they did with the city deal.
I just received my real estate and personal property tax bill and what a surprise. Both bills have Bella Vista Fire, Police, general fund and roads. I went to those meetings about making us a city and at that time they said that the POA would have surplus once things were done. So the POA keeps the water department, POA dues, membership I.D. cards, boat registration, lakes and golf courses. The way it looks, the POA pays the people VERY well or we can't support all the golf courses.
The POA is like a small business: you cut your losses or get somebody that can.
The only satisfaction that I have is that those people that thought having two governments is better than one have to pay all the extra taxes too. THANKS!
