Voice: Ron Alcorn, Bay City
Year after year, the rates go up. We’ve all heard it several times from angry residents. Why does this city insist on making ends meet by charging more for this service?
Water is a necessity we all need. We don’t need to work 40 hours a week to pay for water bills.
The horror stories we have all heard about his situation: People going behind their homes to pee, using containers in their home, not flushing the toilet until its unbelievable to smell, using the same bath water for three or four children. I have one true story we have all heard before: Pretty grass for a modern society.
How is it that in surrounding townships people pay like $80-90 every three months for water-sewer and we pay double that a month? We surely don’t have a water shortage here.
Will we be made to pay for the air we breathe in Bay City next? Can us city residents have an out-of-city attorney to represent us all and go after this city for what they keep doing to us with these rate increases? Someone has to help us remaining citizens of this city!
If anyone knows of an attorney that can represent us, please come forward. We can then have a meeting somewhere and discuss our options. Let’s fight back, residents, and take care of our future here. How can this go on? How?
