Resident slams Oswego council over water rate raise
In a letter to the editor a resident condemns eight city officials for not notifying the public about planned water and sewer rate hikes. The author accuses the mayor and council of delaying discussion until after elections, seeks clarity from Mayor-elect Billy Barlow, and urges homeowners to voice opposition to the increases and to question representation by elected officials and state and federal aides. The piece highlights concerns about budget timing and the impact on taxpayers.
