Here is the irony of this matter.

BCWA’s much needed rate increase is claimed to be based largely on BCWA’s history of prior mismanagement (clogged pipes, etc.). Much of that mismanagement has footprints to bad, or non existent, legal advice on BCWA’s obligations under the Bristol County Water Supply Act (e.g. the Anawan Dam controversy).

Now the Board is trying to repackage Ms Mack as having provided BCWA with excellent legal service. This doesn’t mix.

Was this the reason that BCWA took the time to investigate if they could hold the Dec 18th meeting by trying to claim it was a “work session”? (Note - a work session is when the Board might attend a workshop together, like an AG meeting, in which they are all sitting in one room, but not discussing things with each other.)

Wouldn't it have been easier to just be transparent and have an open meeting rather than trying to rig things?

BCWA has again become self destructive at the same time they want to claim “we are a new BCWA”.
