In a Tribune article on Sat. 8/19/06, Auditor Plaiss clarified that the city and county will each receive $ 3,384,554.19 from the Jail Bond Reserve Fund. Thank You, Auditor Plaiss.
Remember-- Umbaugh, the paid accounting firm, and Greg Fifer, the paid Sewer Board Attorney, told the City Council that they could find no record of such a Jail Bond Reserve Fund.
The mayor made the same statement.
Mrs. Garry, paid City Controller, told the council that Auditor Plaiss had not been able to confirm that the city would receive money from the Jail Bond Reserve Fund.
The big question remains-- why is the mayor, the paid accounting firm & the paid sewer attorney making such a big "crisis pitch" to place the sewer rate increase on our backs???
They tried to back us in a corner and take away any options again just to try and scare us with their claim that they could not find the Jail Bond Reserve Fund to help avoid the rate increase.
What will their next big batch of lies and scare tactics be for the sewer rate increase? We urge you to attend the public hearing this Wednesday at 6:00 PM. on the 3rd floor of the City-County Bldg.
Will they now try to use the kindergarten story that shouts..."THE SKY IS FALLING" we have no other choice, no other options but to raise our sewer bill because they refuse to come up with any solution other than it's "Jimmy's" way or no way? I am going to raise your sewer bill regardless of what any of you taxpayers want or think!
