Because I'm more interested in Jordan Carver I might have missed this one if not for a very DETAIL ORIENTATED TKC READER . . . Check the latest quote from Mayor Sly on the prospect of selling off the water department:
Mayor Sly James took pains Thursday to shoot down any rumors that the water system is for sale.
“This city is not considering anything except getting a director in place,” James said. “The sale of assets is not under consideration.”
There's not a lot of wiggle room there . . . And that should upset SO MANY water company consultants setting up meetings at City Hall.
DEVELOPING . . .
He better tell TERRY THE THIEF RILEY.

ReplyDeleteOuch! Terry Riley's value just plummeted. Not that it was ever much above zero. Can a person have negative value? Apparently Riley can.
ReplyDeleteToo bad. The Water Department should be privatized!
ReplyDeleteThere is a happy medium between public and private. It should be explored. Just not by ex-council thugs.
ReplyDeleteif terrys company does some how gets ahold of the water dept you havent seen anything yet the monthly bills will double or triple.
ReplyDeletethats the first smart thing to come out of the mayors office
ReplyDeleteMayor Sly told Council everything is on the table related to Combined Sewer replacemnt. He simply said it is not under consideration-not that it won't be. There is miles of woggle room there.
ReplyDeleteThere is a LOT of wiggle room in that statement. Most water privatization schemes have NOT included outright sale of assets; they've either leased the assets or handed over operation of the assets (but not the assets themselves) to the private sector. And I suspect Mayor Sly Lawyer knows that.
ReplyDelete5:37 is right, but Mayor Sly's statement is significant since it keeps the determination of rates with the City Council, rather than the numb-nuts at the Public Service Commission in Jefferson City. Just take a look at the rate increases that those people have approved for Missouri America Water......OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Plus, that company can't even come to terms of agreement with its union, who is threatening a strike.
