Water Meters
Dear Editor, I don’t like hashing these disagreements through the newspaper, but a letter to the editor is the best way to communicate to the most people. I, for one, will not vote for anyone who endorses the water meters in our homes. I have received many positive reactions to my letter to the editor. There may be many people who disagree with me and don’t mind giving more of their hard earned money to you to build this utopia that you talk about, but I must say that in the past 10-12 years, the city has had a windfall of cash through the city income tax and still all we hear is how bad off we are. What will happen in another 10-12 years when nothing changes except property owners paying more and more? I’ll tell you, nothing! In that time our rates will continue to rise and we will continue to hear how broke the city is. This city is a business and must be run like one, but it has been run poorly in the past with a lot more money, and I don’t see any changes in the future.
