So glad Tim Longmeyer is gone. He lied about never endorsing primary candidates in the WFPL piece. It gets old, just glad he is gone.

Are other medium-large or large communities currently being abused by their solitary, non-competitive, monopolistic utility companies & the people employed to run them?
In the early ’70s I had my own private sewage disposal system – much better than a septic system. The wastewater discharged from this multi-chambered self-contained system was “pure.” By law we had to have it inspected annually, for which we paid a reasonable service fee. New “cavitator” systems were no longer granted permits in Jeff. Co. by approx. the late ’70s. Despite sanitation claims, I’m sure MSD was the driving force.
