The irony of Chuck's argument is that within a year, the utility rates had gone to about where I was advocating and the sewer connection fee had doubled from $1900. That fee continued to escalate quickly because it primarily affected developers. Unless you consider that it eventually ended up in the price of the house. Then again, that primarily affected newcomers so who cares about them. I think it was about $6,000 within a couple of years.
And then the move to add outside developments to the OP system began. With little benefit to OP rate payers. Gummint...gotta love it. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: He had been one of those arguing no increase despite continuing losses in the operation. Sounds like Chuck, were he around today, would get along fine with Commissioner Fiori. Fiori stated publicly he is opposed to any rate increases in the sewer service areas in his district. If that proves to be the case, those districts will just continue to lose big bucks and the County will again come looking to OP area to foot the bill for most of those losses. Look -- here are the political aspects in my opinion: Mitrecic can't stand Bertino and Bunting. Bertino was likely to be Commissioner president again this year, but for Mitrecic convincing Ted Elder to give up support for Bertino in return for Mitrecic assuring Elder he would become president. Mitrecic cobbled together four votes - his, Elder, Purnell, and Fiori on the day of electing a new president and Chip was out. Those four now more or less control the County Commissioners. Regardless of what anyone may think, Mitrecic pulled off a masterful political coup. |
