Freedom Of Speech would like to say:

First, did anyone catch their "fuzzy math?" They included the "supposed amount" owed for sewer liens. "Liens are not income until their collected, Mr. Wilkerson."

Tell us AGAIN, Mr. Mayor...why we don't need a Sewer AUDIT!

In the year ending report of 2009 the Sewer Department was $3.4 million in the red under England. In less than 4 months England has now put the Sewer Department at a total of $10.2 million in the red.

Can you believe these same people want raises in 2011?

Can someone explain to us ratepayers why England had to have Charlestown Road annexed when he estimates another $50,000 loss in sewer revenue?

Maybe it's time for certain council members to start voting "NO" instead of "YES" all the time...

Get ready rate payers we "smell another" sewer rate increase!
