The Evolution of a Shibboleth

Opposition to the water merger has strangely evolved over the last several months as each phony objection gets handily batted down.

First, the water merger was declared to be a bad deal because it was just plain ole THEFT.

Then it was a bad deal because it was a SEIZURE by a bully.

Then it was a bad deal because it might lead to PRIVATIZATION.

Then is was a bad deal because it would mean JOB LOSSES for city employees.

Then it was a bad deal because it would be COSTLY to ratepayers.

Then it was a bad deal because there was NO DEFINED COMPENSATION for the city.

Then it was a bad deal because NO DEFINED LEASE OPTION being considered in the studies.

Then it was a bad deal because the process is being RUSHED.

Now it's a bad deal because Henderson County leaders are pushing for undue representation on the regional board as part of a POWER GRAB.

Where it will go next is anybody's guess. We will be taking requests.

**UPDATE**

Now the water merger is a bad deal due to fears of WHO'S NEXT?
