Mayor England sez: Alternate Plan B to address sewers, their rates and whatnot.

File under "press releases we didn't receive," but the council president's ears and mouth are nearer City Hall's horse than mine. The droppings? Those are on Cappuccino's end.

Mayor's Alternative Sewer Rate Plan, by John Gonder (from his blog, where you can find the complete text).

Here is an e-mail marked for "immediate release".

A rate table alluded to in the test inexplicably didn't move from the original to this format.

The e-mail and the words are the administration's not mine.

Here are the Mayor's meat and potatoes:

Under what has been dubbed “Alternate B”, the use of EDIT and Riverboat funding to subsidize the sewer rates would be scrubbed. But Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to fund the debt service for three projects contained in the Capacity Assurance Plan—Basin 14 Lift Station Upgrade, the Mount Tabor Lift Station Upgrade and the Jacobs Creek/Lewis Branch Interceptor—would be utilized. The amount required to fund debt service to be pledged from TIF would be approximately $240,000 per year. The “Alternate B” plan also slashes $1.0 million from the sanitary sewer annual operating budget.

Look ma: No EDIT!

Now, the question becomes, "Where are the votes?"
