For once, I agree with Mr Thompson. The whole Board needs to be cleaned out and replaced. The CFPUA is a nightmare. They are an un-elected entity that has the power to tax. Something has to be done to make them accountable to the voters. Their relationship with the City Council and Mayor smells like a dead fish; something is not right there. If their rate increases were indeed "programmed in from the start", they need to de-program them at once. We already pay far too much as compared to other counties for water and sewer; and trash as well. The City and County need to re-take complete ownership of the water and sewer system since it is truly a public utility and no competition exists to make the free market work.
