San Marcos carrying water for developers
Many years ago I worked for Vallecito's Water District and since retired. I really enjoyed my employment there and I am not a disgruntled employee. My comments are mine and not the Districts view so keep that in mind. Years ago we had a awesome board of Directors when I started with the company back in the late 70's The were very pro active towards the District, Customers and the employees. What I have witnessed over the many years up to and close to my retirement from there is discontent towards the Customers and to the employees. What do I mean? Well, years ago there were people who wanted to get on the board from the city and they the city for years has been wanting to take over the water district for many years. Why? They are a special district as they handle drinking water and sewer. The revenue is tremendous.. We as a group of employees knew that for many years, and now look at what is happening to the board. They had a contractor on the board who was pushing for the developmental fees to be waved by the district and passed on! Really? well guess what They just did. Is there money being passed to feed this you bet there is! Tom just pointed it out! Think about it! The board is paid yes we all know that but not very much, Why in the hell do you think people want to get elected? Not for the pay but for the perks behind close doors Case in point! Next don't blame the water district! I am sure you have many bitter complaints towards them but don't, Blame yourself! Why The public voted these clowns in. The district as a whole tries to keep cost down for the public but when the rates are raised by the Water Authority they are passed on. As for what Tom brought to light, I applaud you Tom! Remember you voted these knuckleheads in! You can vote them out as well! Remember that.— October 30, 2018 10:47 a.m.
