When Free is a Problem

Hard to believe but Riverside is still trying to figure out how to carry out an ordinance they passed on March 3rd. This is the one where the City is going to pay for residents' sewer bills. Kind of like Aldermen Gone Wild without the nudity. Evidently they leaped first then started asking questions.

Here's how it goes. "Kansas City owns the sewers Riverside residents use and Missouri American Water handles the billing for use of those sewers, as it's based on the amount of water used through Missouri American Water" Sun Gazette, June 18

Missouri American and KCMO have recommended a reimbursement setup where Riverside refunds residents payments from the records of MO American.

Oh the Humanity! All parties are wrapped around the axle, attorneys are involved (sorry Bill) and the flushing continues unabated...or unrebated, well you know what I mean.

The best things in life are free? Nah. Give me my sewer bill or give me...
