IMO - higher rates cost more votes than a tax that benefits everyone.
Did the fuel tax help - yes. Too little, long term results but yes.
It's only been like 5 years, right? I guess you can't hope for long term results if it's not around long term. I hope the council does consider higher rates to keep the investment going (I know with the current mayor that's unlikely).
