We Interview Mayor Dew He's Crazy Editorial
Nelsonville's public utilities need a full-time competent manager funded from plant revenue. A new superintendent of light and water works should supervise sales, collections, and public relations while the mayor approves, then lets the manager operate freely. The plan aims to curb $25,000 in delinquent accounts and improve utility management without burdening the general fund.
