If you are naive enough to think that Congress-critters are the only politicians who grease their own path to re-election by avoiding responsible decisions, think again.
A small town in Wisconsin will increase its water bills to residents by about 125%, starting in August of '24.
Why?
Because that small town's water-utility equipment is seriously out-of-date. It's 70 years old.
Why?
...Village President Jody Steger said the village needed to upgrade its water infrastructure, which he said was about 70 years old. He was also unsure as to why former village boards did not act sooner.
“We knew the utility was losing money for the past number of years, but we had surplus money there, and we were always taking the loss and making up for it with our surplus money,” said Steger....
Steger is lying. He knows damn well why board members did not increase the bills. Increasing costs means having difficult conversations with voters. And, of course, increasing bills means that the board members would have to pay more, too.
Solution?
Kick the can down the road and let somebody else take the heat when bankruptcy comes knocking.
All Politicians Are the Same.
