I had to chuckle while reading the comments of this story this morning. Look who came out of his internets cave;
First off, clarification, Costner. The Reclamation (sewer increases) a few months ago were justified because the extra revenue was going to go towards fixing the sewer pipes. So why all of sudden we need to raise water rates? Secondly, does it really matter what fund fixing pipes comes from? It’s not that the money wasn’t there in the previous administration to fix these pipes, it’s that Munson’s priorities, for the lack of a better word were FUCKED. We had record sales tax revenue. Making it sound like the city was too broke to fix pipes makes me laugh, every time I drive down the $3 million dollar street to nowhere. Who pays rate increases? Taxpayers. Who pays sales taxes? Taxpayers. Who pays property taxes? Taxpayers. Does it really matter where the money comes from to fix pipes? No. We had the money to keep up with these upgrades, but our pussy-whipped council and mayor decided that rock/wood thingies in McKennan Park were more important. So shit hit the fan, literally.
As for your snow gates dig. I thought you were for snow gates? Did you have a change of heart?
