Let’s see if my opinion about this comes true.
I believe mayor and council will pass this [stormwater utility] measure unanimously. They chose not to listen to the voice of experience, but to listen to Integrated Science who doesn’t have a vested interest in this matter.
Oh, wait, they do have a vested interest since they will receive all the engineering work related to the stormwater utility.
The maintenance and drainage of the roads falls under Public Works. This has been funded through the General Fund. Now we get to pay for it TWICE.
Mr. Logsdon, you ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility. This is the first proposed tax increase since you took office and we are taking notes to see if you were sincere about that promise. The stormwater utility meeting on Jan. 19 was a joke.
I think it is time for Peachtree City’s upper management and financial team to get an enema. But then I believe that would leave them translucent.
