He asked his colleagues to join him in a no vote in order to ask Mayor Linda Tyer to consider his solution: take $1 million from the city’s $40 million in American Rescue Plan funds to halt rate increases for the next year. Kronick, who halted the discussion of rates last month by issuing a charter objection, said he took the time between the meetings to do a line-by-line review of the city’s water and sewer budgets. “You guys are not making the hard decision, you’re making the easy decision.” “We have a higher population of elderly people and this is going to affect them,” Kalinowsky said. Mayor Linda Tyer rejected the plan saying she didn't 'think it was the best solution.'
