any water distribution built with schedule 20 pvc piping, has been "a public utility emergency" since it was constructed. the fact that it lasted as long as it has is incredible.
ultimately the price for poor management practices will be equally borne by every property owner in that community - except those who have private wells, i suppose. but even those folks will have a smaller pool of prospective buyers....makes it sound kinda like socialism doesn't it?
I hope Dr. Hernandez is a guest speaker at an upcoming meeting of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Commission. She has so much wisdom and experience to pass on to younger generations.
It's the product of living in a lowly bubble: an immature, undeveloped writing style that has no insight or reasonable conclusion. Those PhD's from Watsamatta U in New Mexico are only a union card for activists to rally 'round and a far cry from what $200k a year should buy.
Your excellence at writing a reply show that you are an intelligent and urbane fellow. Whatever, get me my fries bro.
The "mayor" has an office? Everyone sees straight through your P.R. circus. Your lap dog , Old McDonald, is just as half-blind and limited as the rest of us poor ******** scrambling in the real world.
Jones, I hope you get some help with your anger management issues soon.
Obviously you have never met nor engaged with the mayor. She works tirelessly full file research, engaging with constituents and legislators at the state and federal level and with policy experts from DC to New Mexico to learn and better serve her constituency.
I say bring back the Piggly Wiggly.
