what's wrong
The Annual Membership Fee and the Facility Charge is liable to change and are dependent upon the pending economic situation.
This is a sentence I wrote in English for a group but was told that the "is" should read "are" liable to change, who's right?

Your first verb is 'is', but your second verb is 'are'. Can you see the inconsistency?
