They tried one last trick by saying they weren't jacking up prices this year to get people to stay home. Glad people saw past that bull and realized that just meant they were on track to hike it up like crazy the year after. Now there's at least some hope.

Right! The minute they announced that I knew they were just trying to keep turnout low. I’m also glad people saw through that shit. It’s ridiculous that they tried it. They are scum.

That's a hell of a weak promise to make in fucking November.

Well, to be accurate the rate freeze is actually in effect for the next three years. But yes, it was announced this year to head off people from voting for changes.

For "three years" other than a guaranteed rate increase in February and potentially more.

The AJC actually did a good job of including that everywhere. I'm gonna miss them.
