City Hall discussion favors municipal plant control
At a City Hall session the council heard that municipal plants, when run by the city, are financially and physically stronger than private management. Hope Water and Light shows a heavy city bond load, but its revenues support other departments. The May tally and five month totals illustrate the plant contributing funds while suggesting debt could be paid in five to six years if city funds aren’t diverted. Meanwhile community notices mention Met Life reps, Buckabee partners, and a SKAW Club gathering with local names and planning details.
