San Diego法官允许该市每月43美元的垃圾费, 尽管法律质疑其合法性, A San Diego judge allows the city’s $43 monthly trash fee to stand despite legal challenges over its legality.

San Diego法官拒绝了阻止该市每月43美元的垃圾费的要求, 允许该市在合法诉讼不断推进时继续诉讼。 A San Diego judge has denied a request to block the city’s $43 monthly trash fee, allowing it to proceed while a lawsuit over its legality moves forward. 该费用是在2022年措施B通过之后执行的,超过先前23至29美元的估计数,在218号提案下受到质疑,该提案将收费限制在实际服务费用上。 The fee, implemented after Measure B passed in 2022, exceeds earlier estimates of $23 to $29 and is challenged under Proposition 218, which limits fees to actual service costs. 原告认为该市误导了选民, 并正在使用收费来弥补预算缺口, 而该市则表示确保公平的成本分配。 Plaintiffs argue the city misled voters and is using the fee to cover a budget shortfall, while the city says it ensures fair cost distribution. 预计将举行审判,案件管理会议定于10月24日举行。 A trial is expected, with a case management conference set for October 24.
