Flush

BlogKC reported yesterday about the mounting opposition to water/sewer bonds. Overall, it seems like a shitty proposal. Both opposition groups claim that distribution for the funds is unspecified (for the condo and loft dwellers not you) along with the rate increases that will be inevitable.

More importantly, the whole “special election” tactic is as slimy as a local sewer. It’s a method used to get special interest groups what they want. Sewer/water bonds don’t really turn anyone’s crank so the polls probably won’t be crowded. They’ll get their money because their supporters will vote for it while the rest of the citizenry will be stuck with the bill. If my site was more serious I’d urge you to go out and vote no. Instead, I’ll just advise you to grab your wakeboard and enjoy the ride this town is taking down the toilet.
