The mismanagement of the WSA still is not being considered and now the board is going to manage new projects spending tens of millions of dollars. Only in government do we do things like this.

This is like the new RI Healthcare exchange. They created it with federal funds that will pay all costs for a few years. However after the funds expire they don't have a plan to pay for it. Currently it is costing $24 million a year to run it. BRILLIANT! Where will they get the money?

Same with sewers, pass new bond spending of $60 million and let the same people who have total screwed up past projects run the new projects.

The proposal to divide the total cost of the sewer project by the number of homes is also crazy. Why not then do the same thing for property taxes? Just divide the total taxes by each home. If your home is worth a million dollars or $100 grand pay the same thing. Fair?

But for some reason its now fair to assess sewer construction projects this way?

A better plan would be to use the value of each property to determine the assessment rate. The people with a more valuable piece of property, pay more. The person with the same value home as a neighbor in a less valued neighborhood, but twice as much pipe in front of their house pay the same assessment.

The guy with the million dollar home in a high valued neighborhood with less frontage, pays more. FAIR.
