The elderly <br />are having trouble paying their utility bills as it is, and there is damage to personal property <br />because of runoff from City streets. She said she does not think we shou ld have made a <br />resolution against drones. <br /> <br />Ms. Carole Thorpe, 1318 Oak Tree Ln., said she is speaking on behalf of the Jefferson <br />Area Tea Party of Charlottesville. She said we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. <br />Families are already having a difficult time financially, and the stormwater fee will make things <br />worse. <br /> <br />Mr. John Heyden , Westwood Rd., said he is against the stormwater fee, and that the middle <br />class will have to pay the most. He said he refuses to pay this tax. <br /> <br />Mr. David Swanson, 701 Gillespie Ave., said he supports the resolution against the use of <br />drones and thanked Council for addressing the matter. We should act before it is too late. <br /> <br />Ms. Jamie Morgan, 108 4th St. NE, said she supports a ban on the use of drones to protect <br />ou r civil liberties. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhuru X, formerly known as Marco Brown, Homeless , said housing and job searches <br />are primary issues for the homeless. <br />
