But we don’t get to vote on this price increase, nor do we get to decide who does the upgrading of the infrastructure, nor do we get oversight in seeing how our funds are being spent.
The fact that you’re not even slightly irritable about this makes you a fuckass.
Did you even read what I wrote? What the hell do you want to vote on?? The government says you need a new system, so you have to get it. Would you like to take a vote on whether or not to leave the union so that we are no longer forced to obey the tyranical EPA?? The money has to come from somewhere, and the suburbs have it, not the city. And it’s not like you’re paying for Detroit’s water, you use the freakin water too.
And why do you want to decide who does the upgrading? Are you an environmental engineer and would like to recommend a good unit for the job? Surprise, surprise, they’re going to hire professionals (mobster or negros to you) to do the job!! And yes whoever those professionals are will probably be picked by your evil, corrupt 6 member water board.
