That only means they didn't want to be on record. Privatizing water utilities would also end open records requests and open meetings requirements. Add that to a stripped down Walker controlled DNR and you have the very real potential for another Flint Michigan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-15347601462567461282016-04-18T16:52:58.039-05:002016-04-18T16:52:58.039-05:00Of course it will.

Once a system is sold that becomes the *sacred* property of the new owner. With government ownership, updating a water system is not rigged for profits, but accountable at the ballot box. We own. *They* should not be permitted to sell.Bill Sellhttp://milwaukeerenaissance.comnoreply@blogger.com
