Anyone who has any general knowledge of how drainage works can see that it is nothing but a money grab. You can't increase tax revenue without more development....frick anyone who was there before.

Your post is correct, but I would say it this way...we can't increase revenue to pay for the cost of maintaining old infrastructure without getting revenue from new development. That said in many communities they would probably take a trade-off of increasing millages dedicated to drainage over increasing density...or maybe not.
