Phoenix Trans Private Surcharge for a non-Phoenix resident
Sparks957
Enthusiast - Level 2

I am being charged a surcharge for the City of Phoenix.  I am not a Phoenix resident, and I have been told by Customer Service that I cannot dispute this charge.  When I pushed for an answer why, I was told that this surcharge is required by the City of Phoenix and that Verizon has been ordered to collect this surcharge from me by the City of Phoenix.  

 I do not get to vote in City of Phoenix elections.  I do not receive city of Phoenix services like roads, sewer or water, and If I call 911 I am told to call another number because my home is not located in Phoenix.  This Verizon charge  is the only "tax" that I "pay" to Phoenix.  

Why does Verizon charge me a surcharge for the City of Phoenix when I am not a resident of the City of Phoenix? Is this even legal?
