Who do I vote for? The officials that allow rate increases and, when the utilities fail to fix the problems, allow more rate increases? Or the officials who refuse rate increases so that the utilities can't afford to fix the problems?
If you run, you can vote for yourself and try to push whatever you think is a more effective solution. If the problems are really as bad as you describe, surely you could get tremendous support from the other residents for your endeavor to resolve them. Owen
