I just checked my email and found the Trib’s latest news alert. Long after I got home from the agenda session the Council voted 5-4 on Mayor Ness’s sanitary sewer plan.
Their vote on the Krause motion was small potatoes. They have now imposed a monthly charge on most homeowners and a staggering $7,000 repair bill for a few. These will go to repair lateral sewer lines from homes to the City sewer. Its something I’m thinking about doing because the old clay pipes from our house may have crumbled leading to the sewage overflow we suffered last fall. I’m determined never to go through that again.
These expenses and those of the School District’s Red Plan (which still requires another $90 million from local tax payers) will put voters in a very sour mood in November.
