City Hall wants it doggie style

City Hall is now hoping to cash in on dog owners.   The argument for it is, well, other cities charge a lot more for dog permits. But that's beside the point. What the hell do we need dog permits for anyway??? Again, I will state my belief that a city should not be so obsessed with generating revenue off of its constituents. In fact, the city should concern itself with generating as little revenue as possible while achieving its goals. If the license fees go directly toward funding dog parks or something, that’s different. But, as you know, that's never the case. The dog permit thing is yet another stupid answer to the absurd question: "How do we plug a budget deficit that doesn't really exist?"
