Burien may get tax credits for annexing North Highline, but those in North Highline might be interested to know that Burien will collect city occupation and franchise fees from cable use and city occupation taxes on phone use plus utility taxes on heating fuel bills.

I may have missed some of Burien’s “hidden taxes,” but those listed come on each bill from companies that supply the service or product to you.

I thought it was worth revealing this information to those of you who might consider annexing to Burien as you vote on this issue.
