]]> Comment on report back on river tour by Russell Senior http://dillpickleclub.org/2011/12/02/report-back-on-river-tour/comment-page-1/#comment-777 Russell Senior Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:31:16 +0000 http://dillpickleclub.org/?p=4156#comment-777 The Big Pipe projects were *not* paid for by taxpayers. They are being paid for by *ratepayers*. The City sold revenue bonds, which will be repaid using funds from sewer bills. The distinction is subtle, but I think it's important. The same thing applies to the water system. No tax dollars have ever been spent on the water system; it doesn't need tax dollars when the system has paying customers. We are fortunate to have public utilities providing these services *at cost*. It's a continuing tragedy that other essential utility services are not provided on a similar *at cost* basis, like, say, last-mile communications infrastructure. Instead, we are saddled with a monopolistic federal telecommunications policy and a City Council that is tone deaf to please for relief. The Big Pipe projects were *not* paid for by taxpayers.
