Fraud or Grand Theft?

Perhaps you do not need to charge sales tax if you do NOT charge. Is THAT what they are saying? That they ARENT charging? They either ARE charging, or they arent! which one is it? They cant have it BOTH ways. If they are NOT charging, WHY NOT? The residents are being defrauded of deserved revenues if they ARENT charging, and it appears they ARENT. What are the chances they ARE charging, but just never get around to claiming it as revenues? Is it possible the money is just pocketed? THAT would be theft, GRAND THEFT, right? Without any other possible explanation from City officials it sounds like FRAUD or Grand THEFT are the two best explanations so far. To not ID and document people who use our facilities because of a loss of confidentiality is so patently absurd it doesnt deserve a response. Since when is pool use confidential information? Preposterous, irrational, and ridiculous are the terms that come to mind. What person in their right mind would object to verifying their name and address? Showing their driver license? Having a video showing them using a city facility? Perhaps those who arent residents and/or dont want to pay may object, but not the average tax paying citizen. These are common, everyday verification methods that are used on a daily basis in a wide range of activities, from voting booths to driver licenses to banking. Only scammers would object.
