Something one has to look at...
I didn't read the article, I'm not registering with Sac Bee.
However:
Most people see their utilities, such as gas, electrical, water, phone, etc. as coming out of the wall - as if the tooth fairy should provide it all next to free of charge.
Is the water department treated as a separate entity, or is it a part of the city to be milked ( in so many ways) like DWP?
Is there actually a money trail linking city officials lining their pockets as well as taking care of cronies, or is the rate increase demonstrated to be for necessary maintenance and other service sustainability and citizens don't believe the fact?
There's lots of ways and angles to game public service and for public service to game it's customers.
Did the city manager actually have his hands in the till, or is he just running scared of being falsely accused?
I don't trust the media, government officials, "citizen action groups" or utilities to be up front and objective when it comes to the the dollar.
The media least of all, what sells papers?
