There has been a lot of activity on the various blogs today regarding last night's City Council meeting.
A lot of "talk" but what did we really learn about the sewers last night? Alot... thanks to private citizen and taxpayer Valla Ann Bolovschak.
1. Apparently there are businesses which did not receive a sewer bill for several months.
2. There are approximately 430 households which did not receive a sewer bill either.
3. No one knows how many sewer bills were "forgiven".
4. No one knows why liens were not filed against homeowners who were seriously delinquent on their sewer bills.
* There is a light at the end of this tunnel because other bonds will be paid off next year, freeing up over $1,000,000 per year.
* Additionally we have more money in EDIT funds than we originally thought.
We here at Freedom of Speech do not claim to have the answers. We still have the same old problem of lack of communication between the Administration, taxpayers and the City Council. Even the Councilmen who sit on the Sewer Board did not have additional information.
More meetings are scheduled for the next two consecutive Wednesdays. What will happen? Who knows? All we can say is fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a very bumpy ride.
By the way Mr. Mayor it would really help us taxpayers out if you put all the money back you borrowed from the sewer department. And yes we heard what you said "it's not your fault" and the Garner blame game continues.
