I did a lot of complaining when we were annexed. This is how the City of Wilmington boosts revenue when the current citizens' backs are broken. I neither needed nor wanted to be a part of the city of Wilmington. But, as Monkey Junction is finding out now, no one will listen. If Monkey Junstion had stepped up to protest when the Echo Farms area was being devoured, the wolf would not be at their door today!
The worst part of all of that was, not that I had to pay to connect, not that I had to pay for the labor and materials, also, they actually charge a PRIVILEGE FEE! That's right! I had to pay the City of Wilmington when I was forced to give them the privilege to take my money and my freedom! Can you say SAXON HOARD!!!! Can you say HOSTILE TAKEOVER!!! You can't say no one complained when the City was in control of the water! I don't want ANYONE in MY pockets, especially cFpUa! (ps. that is the check they have to cash to get my money - written to cFpUa - but the F & U are much bigger)
Sincerely,
