From the SDUT April 18:
Time for bullied San Diegans to fight back, only starting with trash fee
Tuesday, April 15, 2025 from the San Diego Union Tribune: On split vote, San Diego council advances nearly $48-a-month home trash pickup fee. Monday’s vote officially launches the protest period for the proposed fees. Under state law, the new fees can’t be imposed if more than half of the estimated 233,000 households that would pay the new fee submit protest cards before the June 9 hearing. City officials say they will mail out protest cards to each household during the week beginning April 21.
